If you choose the bondstrike for hunting I’ll be very interested in how it performs. I found it too late in the process to try out so settled on ELDX but don’t love it.

Did you notice any recoil difference between the 175s and the 160s?

I’ve had good accuracy with mine. Haven’t measured exact MOA. Just really good SD between shots.

Mines also been pretty good in both the federal and hornady versions. Unfortunately I get lots of stiff bolt lifts with the hornady version so I had to hang up the rifle till I could get my hands on the federal version.
