JJHACK,
You have some pretty good engineering talent in agreement with you - the ballistics guy from Barnes, Tim, said pretty much the same thing! Of course they only have field reports of Barnes users, so their sample is biased. I happen to agree, but my experience is limited.
They of course, went a tad further, explaining why they were better than "bonded designs", but they already had my attention. I suppose the mono-metal camp got stonger when Hornady came out with their "me too" product- it'll be hard for them to run down mono-metals from here on out....and "bonded" really is an attempt to make different metals behave as if they were one...there I go stirring the pot!
BUT Barnes muddied the water with the MRX line, no longer a mono-metal...I imagine someone out there right now is pushing for a max velocity load of a 165 MRX in .308 - more room in the case...or in .375!
Where do you think the tech will be in 5 years? Or has it topped out?
