Hi everyone,
I hope this is the best forum to post this.
Can we compile a list of bonded core bullets that are available as components, and list their pros and cons?
Thanks,

I have a general idea, but not sure if they are available as components.
Interbond
Accubond
PowerMax Bonded (Winchester ammunition)
Speer DeepCurl
FederalFusion

To my knowlege, the Interbond, Accubond, DeepCurl, Core-Lokt Ultra, Swift A-Frame and Scirocco, Norma Oryx, and maybe a couple others are available as components.
I tried the Accubonds and never felt the need to move on to other bonded bullets, but YMMV...
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Was the now discontinued Barnes MRX bonded?

As a matter of fact, I am! "Skatchewan" is how we pronounce Saskatchewa, lol. I will google them, but please provide a link if you have one. Thanks. How about the new PowerMax ammunition? Are those bonded core bullets available as components?

Ted that's impressive. Both the bear and the bullet!
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I talked to a gentlemen at federal, and they say that they are not going to move forward with the fusion in component form due to having trouble with pressures.
