RE: shockwave standard vs bonded
I have done a comparison and in fact I shot both this weekend back to back. I posted a picture of my last 5 shots using Shockwave Bonded 250gr at 150 meters in a separate post. The other ones I was using was the regular yellow tip Shockwaves in 250gr. I shot 12 regular (yellow tip) Shockwaves and 15 of the (Blue tip) Bonded ones. I saw NO difference in patterns. I was using the easy glide sabots on both.
I will probably keep buying both and plan to start using the bonded ones for hunting purposes.
