Has anybody used any of these this season?
Is somebody making the bullet for Winchester?
"Super-X� Power Max Bonded� is specifically designed for the whitetail deer hunter.
Winchester�s proprietary bonding process welds lead to a copper alloy jacket where the two act together during expansion for improved penetration and retained weight.
�The bonding technology improves bullet performance with increased retained weight and deeper penetration, while still providing a quick and lethal knock-down,� said Glen Weeks, Centerfire Product Manager for Winchester Ammunition. �For any whitetail hunter who is interested in bullet strength and penetration, the new Power Max Bonded is it.�
Key features of the Super-X bullet include:
* Protected hollow point PHP design
* Lead core bonded to jacket with proprietary process
Massive frontal area of mushroom is more than double original diameter
* Lead remains bonded to jacket after impact
* Super-X Power Max Bonded will be offered in the following calibers and bullet weights, with expected store delivery set for June of 2009:
Cartridge Grain Muzzle Velocity Symbol
* .270 Win 130 PHP 3060 X2705BP
* .270 WSM 130 PHP 3275 X270SBP
* .30-30 Win 150 PHP 2390 X30306BP
* .308 Win 150 PHP 2820 X3085BP
* .30-06 Sprg 150 PHP 2700 X30061BP
* .300 WSM 150 PHP 2970 X300SBP
* .300 Win Mag 150 PHP 2960 X30WM1BP
* PHP = Protected Hollow Point

This was discussed a few days ago heres a link to it. Link
Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.
True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.
If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Bonded bullets for deer? Have deer got tougher in the last few years? Yip. Micro evolution in full gear man. Those snubby-nosed thuddy thuddy boolits pretty much bounce off their new-fangled (bullet proof kevlar-lined) winter coats. I heard a magazine editor recently opine that a 270 was insufficient for deer. The times they are a changin'.
