    I don't know when they switched but they used to advertise they used J4 and now it is "Custom Quality Jacket". Berger is very open about using J4 so I would think Nosler would be also.

    "Berger VLD Target Bullets are extremely popular for competitive long range applications. Built with highly consistent J4 Precision Bullet jacket, most favored by custom bullet makers."

    Hard to talk about POI without a discussion about engagement range difference. IMO, bonded is greater than SMK and its likes except when punching paper.

    We have guns that will shoot a 62 gr way off at 100 yards... like 5-6 moa different POI. So checking/confirming POI is important if I change ammo.

    I still prefer OTM for the reason that bonded would have greater interior penetration if a bullet missed its mark. (My defensive is mostly indoors). My truck gun is loaded with Bonded. (for driving out to the range)

    My 77 OTM load and the gold dot work well together. The GD hits 1.5” higher at 100. Left and right they are the same.
