OldElk, I took your advice, and your right, the C.S is second to none. For everyone reading this, call it, the opening message will crack you up. They explained to me the forming process, and the fellow I spoke to, said it does have the same make-up as the Accu-bond, but the manufacturing process is quite different. It is a swaged core, with the SSt, but the Inter-bond has a thicker jacket at the base. The machining process, i guess is similar, but the actual fusing of the lead is legit. I'm still eager to her from anyone who has shot these in comparison in hunting situations.
