I shoot the 250 grain unbonded (yellow tip) shockwave in the factory supplied black sabot over 100gr of Blackhorn 209. I hunt deer in Southern Michigan and was originally told that the bonded was for hotter loads or bigger game species. With the accuracy and preformance these have given me, I have not changed. I do not go for knock down shoulder shots and prefer to take them just behind the shoulder or much like a bowhunting shot. I have my suspicions that some people who claim no expansion, might be using the bonded, at close range, "hot" loads and never hit bone.

After a phone call, I now know that the Whitetail Medicine bullet IS specially constructed by Hornady under contract and IS NOT their normal SST bullet. Pretty much answered my question.......
