In other words shoot it at distance and ensure it is still good to go for your accuracy standards. About a year ago I had a talk with a rep. from ATK (parent company of Federal) and he said they have changed their bonding process and the accuracy issue has been resolved as a result. Not I have not had the opportunity to put that to the test, as of yet.
if your bullet is matched well to your rifle as far a stabilization, and your shooting 1/2 moa at 100, you got something else going on if accuracy just goes to nothing. this is a fact!
