what bullet?

[Rocky Raab]

The Trophy Bonded Bear Claw was one of the original bonded bullets. It used a lead core soldered to a very thick, very soft copper jacket (actually made of soft copper plumbing tube). It was a superb bullet.

In recent years, Speer bought all rights to the bullet, which is now called just the Bear Claw. It isn't exactly the same bullet, using harder standard jacket material, but it's still good to very good. I think you can get it in Speer Nitrex ammo.

Fail Safe is a hard bullet to better. It's sort of a hybrid of the Barnes X (solid copper nose with a hollow cavity) and the Nosler Partition (lead rear core locked inside a steel "capsule" to prevent deforming). Best of both, they say, and they may be right.

I'd try Fail Safes or Barnes all-copper bullets and shoot the one your gun likes best.

Evan, I think GH said he's shooting "AccuTIP" bullets. Maybe that's the same as AccuBOND, but I'm not aware that Remmy loads any Nosler bullets in their ammo.
