Winchester Dual Bond Loaded .45-70 Ammo

[Pete44ru]

I was wondering if any members have had the chance to try Winchester's new Dual Bond slugs, or factory loaded ammo in their .45-70 leverguns ? (even though it's also made in several other bigbores like .44Mag, .454, .460 & .500S&W)

It's reportedly an internal jacketed bullet with a lead core that's "welded" (soldered ?) in, inserted & attached to a second, outer jacket with a notched HP that results in 12 petals/peels during penetration/expansion (3 from the internal jacket, 3 from the outer one), and retains 95% of it's weight.

Wow - That's a LOT more bloodshot meat than I care for, but it WAS with a Dual Bond 12ga shotgun slug, so maybe it goes with the terrirory.

Thanks for the link, Tycer.

It probly works fine but any .458 hole can.Not only bonded but dual bonded.The new
feel good term.A good bullet but not necessary.

There have been 3 deer shot here in TX on "writers hunts". Deer from 35 yds to 100 yds. Bullets were recovered and weigh 370,366,371gr respectively. You'd think a bonded 375gr would exit a deer. Win still wont release the factory velocity yet.
