Maybe there is a post in this forum that addresses bonded vs. non-bonded TC Shockwaves but I have not found it.
The debate is raging about the shockwave bullets either fragmenting upon impact and separating or penciling through game with no expansion. It is said that the blue tipped bonded shockwave holds together better and does not fragment.
At the same time it is said that the regular shockwave yellow tip will pencil through leaving a very small hole with no expansion. I am also hearing that the yellow shockwave is for target practice only. I wonder if the harder Blue tipped shockwave would pencil through even more then the yellow.
I am looking for someone that has shot both bullets on targets and game and would like to hear their opinion on the performance of these projectiles.
All opinions are welcome. I am just trying to learn and perhaps find a better mouse trap.
By the way I have killed over sixty deer with the yellow tipped Shockwave.
