Essentially, a bonded bullet has its lead core "bonded" in some way--could be chemical bonding or physical, like soldering--to the copper jacket. This is to prevent separation of the jacket from the core after penetration, and it results in a bullet that retains most of its mass, intact. But don't trust me; I'm no expert.BrassMonkey wrote:What is a bonded bullet? I could go look it up for myself, but an answer here answers the question for everyone else who might want to know in the future.
