A true "bonded" bullet uses a traditional pre-formed tubular jacket that is chemically bonded to a swaged lead core - usually with a bonding agent like muriatic acid. Such bullets have nothing in common with electroplated Fusion and Gold Dot bullets.
I understand what you are saying. Can you explain to me how this means that electroplating the gilding metal jacket onto the core is not also a method of bonding?
