It could very well be bs as I was not there personally. Thats only what I had heard but you know how that goes! Although I think its funny how they just came out with the new bonded sw's, they had to have some sort of issue with the bullets coming apart or I dont think you would have seen these. like I said I'm not trying to bash the sw just posting my reasoning for making the change thats all.I'm shootin 110gr's app 3f, dont know the velocity.
