Norma bondstrike

[ballplyr6]

Has anyone shot the norma bondstrikes 180gr. Looking for a bullet for my.backup 300wm. These are farely new and can't find alot of reviews on them.

I've had good results with the 30-06 tip strike, but haven't tried the bond strike.

300wsm, yes. They are cheap and almost accurate. I've only shot squirrels, questionable k9's, and kangaroo rats with mine , but I primarily bought them for the brass. Tikka groups around 1.25", Kimber around 2-4"
The squirrels I landed direct hits on were definitely drt, the kangaroo rats probably died from shell shock or shrapnel wounds. I never recovered any of them to evaluate the expansion.
Great brass for reloading. Im on my 5th case.

I did the same thing as you @millerkiller77 : I bought 5 boxes of 300wsm just for the Norma brass (loaded ammo was about the same cost as the brass alone), but have found that my gun quite likes it. Like the OP, would like more performance reports on big game. … Not that we can’t extrapolate from your squirrel detonations

My rifle loves Bondstrikes! So much so that I have 30 boxes of the stuff and I DONT reload so it wasnt for the brass in my case. I've only shot a Whitetail and Coyote with them but had a pass through on the whitetail at 200 yards. Shooting a 30/06

Are your sub moa with them?

 

[CoHunter1991]

I shoot these is my 300WM, 30-06 and soon my 6.5 CM. They are awesome. My 30-06 is consistently 1/2 MOA with them. Just knocked down a Muley with one, went 10 yards with great entry and exit. Meat damage was minimal.

 

[Fishmaster196]

My 300 wsm is 1 moa or better’s with the Bondstrikes. I could use them for hunting. I originally bought a case of them for the brass and load 168 gr. TTSX Barnes in the brass at 3100 fps.

I appreciate it's not 30 cal, but I'm using 143 6.5 Bondstrikes in a SAUM, and really rate them. Longest shot so far has been 683m, closest 15, they worked well there and everywhere in between. Accuracy hovers around 3/4 MOA for 5 shots - which is as well as I can shoot a light rifle so I'm happy.

I have a Tikka 300 wsm that really likes them. I bought a bunch up when they were cheap and available. They perform well on game also.

.300 WSM 180 grain Bindstrikes did the trick for me. Bear at 190 and moose at 340. Dropped the bear in its tracks and the moose went 15 yards and tipped over.

 

[ropeup79]

Bought some in 300 WSM for the brass and for initial sight in. My Tikka shoots them in 1.5 moa easily. I’m saving a few boxes for backup.

 

[Waspocrew]

Not 30 cal, but my Seekins Element 6.5 PRC shoots the 143 Bondstrike and the 143 Golden target very well.

I ended up just buying a case of the 143 Bondstrike ammo and may not load for my rifle. Very consistent ammo.

My dads Sako loves the ammo and I’ve seen a couple tests with them which performed well.
