The Bonded Bullet

The Bitterroot Bullet of the 60s was the first chemically bonded bullet, a bullet that
uses chemical bonding in its core for excellent expansion without having to suffer from
weight loss. These bullets may not offer the most penetrating designs, but they retain
most of their weight while penetrating the body to offer a decent combination of
penetration and expansion. However, bonded bullets aren’t always the most accurate
choice and their complex design often makes them more expensive as well.
