Given the dearth of component availability these days, I was happy to find some 143gr 6.5mm Norma Bondstrike bullets in stock at a pretty good price recently and have quite a few on the way.
I've been digging around the internet finding what information I could about them, and it seems that good end user input is a bit thin on the ground. There's a few press reviews of the factory loads, generally rather favorable, but most pertains to the .30 caliber offerings, and very little info on handloading.
Anyone here used the Bondstrike component bullets before? If so, did they seem jump-sensitive? Accuracy or terminal performance experience?
Any experience with the smaller-diameter offerings?
I mean, I've done a little loading over the years now, and if I'm the guinea pig, so be it, but if anyone's got input, I'm all ears.
Looking to load in 6.5 PRC, likely using H1000, but also may experiment with H4831SC or 7828SSC.
