I like a nice mushroom with the core retained. Which is why I prefer bonded projectiles.

I dont reload,so name a high performance 308 150-165 gr bullet with a bonded projectile in it.

A basic Hornady spire point would perform better than that. As would a Remington Corelokt.
Here is a selection of Hornady Spire points, 150 and 165 grains recovered from reds, at about the same speed.
