All this talk about bonded bullets is making my head spin. I have been very impressed with my standard 180 grain Remington core-lokts out of the ol '06. If The bullet hits heavy bone, part of it might break off, but the rest will still keep on going. This way I still get the initial shock of good expansion, but also get deep penetration. Kind of like a partition, only less than half the price. I have shot through mule deer lengthwise with em, and through elk severely quartering away. I have also had many fast kills with broadside animals. I don't think I would have gotten as good of results with any bonded bullet. I may have recovered some pretty bullets, had I been using bonded bullets, but I like animals that bleed from two holes better than pretty souvenirs.
