I wouldn't buy it either if all I'd seen was crappy bullets and only got called when they fricked up but it's true nonetheless. And the only two 125 gr 06's I've ever stopped were within two inches of this one. Both gut shot. Both turned it to soup. Neither exited. Both had bullet under the skin on the other side. Although this one went to fricking pieces bigtime from what I can see. I may find the round in that ham yet. If I do I'll get a pic up.
As for if it's bonded, I'm not sure, don't think it is but I've never actually been too convinced of how effective that actually is with lightweight animals like whitetails. They aren't exactly armored or have much of a cross section to passing through.
Here's the Nosler site on it.

I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing. I have no dog in this fight.
It would bother me that my bullet wasn't holding together on gut shots. Not that I make a habit out of shooting deer in the guts, but it happens to all of us. IMO, when you're hunting with something that fragments, you're gambling. I'm glad you've had such good results with it, but I couldn't trust it. I like consistency. As in every bullet does the exact same thing no matter where I put it. Open up a little bit, frick up whatever's in its way, and make it out the other side in one big flat piece.
