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. :smile:

I see that the Hyrda's are loaded +P. Is my Kimber Custom II rated for the loading?

Back in my day, HydraShock was absolute crap. I am assuming this has changed?

Defensive Ammo

What is generally accepted as the best Defensive Ammo in .45 these days? I know this is a very general question and I am looking for a very specific answer.

Everytime I ask at a shop, I get, "It is all a matter of personal preference" How hard is it to understand that I do not have a personal preference? They just don't get it...
