ORIGINAL: 4 Buck
I am looking for a good bullet for my knight disc in a 50 cal. Do i need to spend the extra money on the bonded bullets for whitetail or is it just a waste of money? Looking at the 250 gr. range of bullet
the bonded don't separate the jacket from the core on close high powered shots, it also helps in penetration, but the SW is excellent for that anyway. The bonded do NOT shoot the same as the regular SW, so you will have to choose. I would choose the bonded, since you don't want the buck of a life time to walk, anything will kill a 75 doe, no problem, they are just not that hard to kill. But big bucks, and big mule deer, use a big heavy bullet and drive it home with the weight.
