Norma Bondstrike Ammo?

Been trying out a bunch of factory ammo for a 7PRC I am putting together for my son and this ammo shoots lights out better than any other. Anyone have any experience with it on animals?

Only a few data points, but no complaints on whitetail with a 300 wm. All inside of 150 yards, but my tikka likes that stuff on paper better than i can shoot.

Yeah, that is what I saw too! Started with Hornaday ELDX and it was not great. The Federal ELDX loads were much better, but then tried the Norma and it shot groups as good as my old eyes could hope for. I shot it thru his new 7prc and my 7prc that I had been using the Federal with and both shot great. Just trying to understand how it performs on actual animals. Mostly elk.

I've shot a largish Mule Deer buck at just over 200 yds from a 300 WSM. The penetration wasn't complete through the ribs, but it didn't go anywhere. Sorry, no pictures, and I didn't keep the bullet.

Been using them awhile out of a 300 wsm on antelope, deer, elk, ranges out to 525 yards. We’ve found them to perform well.

I used Bondstrike bullets exclusively this past fall with great accuracy out of handloads in 6.5 prc. I will say that my experience is that it is a bonded bullet but does shed weight on impact with approximately 60% weight retained for shots within 200 yards. I took an elk, pronghorn, mule deer, and two whitetails with the gun/ammo combo with nothing leaving its tracks.
