Found some of this on sale for $37 a box for 7mm PRC. Going to see how it shoots, but curious if anyone has used any of this on game.

I used them a few weeks ago for elk. I was shooting 300wsm. I bought a bunch on sale to.

I shot a bull at close range (50 yards) and he ran around 30 yards and piled up. I didn’t find a lot of blood while tracking, but upon dressing him, I found there was no heart left to pump any blood. Heart Cavity area was completely devastated.

The bondstrike shot very well in my tikka out to 400 yards.

It’s a decent hunting bullet that will work. Not the best, not the worst.

I would hunt with it again.

My rifle loves Bondstrikes! So much so that I have 30 boxes of the stuff and I DONT reload so it wasnt for the brass in my case. I've only shot a Whitetail and Coyote with them but had a pass through on the whitetail at 200 yards. Shooting a 30/06

I shot a pretty heavy (165 lbs without head, legs, skinned, and guts) Mule Deer buck at 250 yds last year with my 300 WSM with factory loads. I think the bullet did well, but I forgot to recover or look for the exit. I was pushing time since wife had a commitment, and I used her to help drag it up the hill with the UTV as I kept the antlers up as well as I could. It was an evening shot, so I had to hang it up as soon as possible to cool off for the night.

I'll probably have more data after the weekend or shortly after.
