However like I said in an earlier post I spoke to the ATK rep about a year or so ago who was out at my range doing a ballistics demo said they have changed their bonding process which may have alleviated some of these issues. However I will still shoot any bonded bullet at distance to verify its accuracy prior to taking it to the field.
my suspicions are with the 11 twist, standard twist for a 308 is a 10.
