They are bonded, plastic tipped but they open up well at longer range when the speed bleeds off.
Price is around $85 for 50. One of the staff in TGA Hamills shot a nice stag this roar using a 172 gr out of his 16 inch 308 at about 2500 fps
At 200 yds it poleaxe it and he said the thump that came back was pretty impressive. The recovered projectile had open nicely back to half way down the shank with good cutting edges up front.I may get a box soon to try out in the 30 06 and 308.

Yup one of the options I'm considering playing around with, speer also make a 215gn 30cal impact, but it's not available as a component sadly, only comes in federal factory loads.
