Anyone use Alaska Bullet Works-Kodiak Bonded Bullet?
Has anyone used these bullets? How has the accuracy/terminal performance been?
Thanks,
Chet
I did some asking just like you a few years ago before loading them. A guy got back to me and said they had not done well against other bonded bullets in his tests with wet phone books. I loaded some for my buddies 7 STW because he had already bought them. They were 160 bonded. He did shoot a carribou a year or two later with the bullet and it didn't really hold together like we thought it would. Instead of a nice tight hole like a swift a-frame we wound up with alot of bloodshot meat like a hornady interlock or sierra BT.
My buddy has shot a pile of bou with barnes x-bullets and that's the bullet he decided to stay with after our test run. I believe the other guy that said they came apart was proabably right. That is just our experience with bullets that were made about 4-6 years ago so maybe things have changed. That's all I can tell you.
