I want to see what the foreward sections look like, also are you sure both jackets are the same alloy and hardeness? They may be, but many times they aren't...
I left the colored points in place for the picture so that people could see that the bullets were indeed the accubond and ballistic tip.When I ground away the entire cross section,the jackets looked identical.As to the alloys and hardness,I can't say,but I can tell you that the ballistic point did not shed it's core even though it is not bonded.And according to Nosler,the difference between the two is that the accubond has a bonded core.They mentioned nothing about alloys or hardness.
