JB, results on game shot by you are not relevant due to your great shot placement. So performance on game is inconclusive! Lol.
Just kidding. I have not heard so many good things on the Hornady IBs, not all bad, just not stellar either. Amax, Interlock solid when used as should, and pretty decent reports on GMX.
For a bonded bullet I REALLY like Accubonds, but would run Speer hot core if pressed...the 130 in 7mm is proven well I know. Hear good things on Fed Fusions for deer fwiw.
There are other bonded bullets proven afield, mixed reports on accuracy though w/some.
