Can anybody explain to me exactly what the difference is between a bonded and a non-bonded sabot? The context of various discussions I've seen aboutsabots gives me an idea about what the difference is, but I haven't seen a direct explanation of it.
It is the bullet that is bonded not the sabot. The jacket of the bullet is bonded to the lead core, usually with soddering or some other method. This keeps the bullet from fragmenting.
