The new Winchester Supreme Elite Dual Bond bullets, introduced for 2009 in big-bore handgun cartridges and shotgun slug product lines, uses a’bullet within a bullet’ design that splits into 12 segments.
Said Glen Weeks, Winchester Ammunition Centerfire Product Manager: “No other product on the market matches its design or performance characteristics. Dual Bond is clearly one of the most innovative bullet designs in the history of Winchester.”
The Supreme Elite Dual Bond is suitable for whitetail deer to large dangerous game, such as brown bear.
The outer jacket is designed for rapid and maximum upset and opens up to six segments. The inner jacket works with the bonded lead core and forms six additional segments at a controlled rate, resulting in a mushroom that is 1.5 times larger than the original bullet diameter.
The heavy outer jacket is mechanically bonded to the inner bullet. The inner bullet utilizes a proprietary bonding process which welds the lead core to a second jacket. The Supreme Elite Dual Bond offers a large hollow point cavity.
Big-Bore Handgun Hunting bullets include a 454 Casull 260g DJHP, a 460 S&W 260g DJHP, and a 500 S&W 375g DJHP. Shotgun sabot slugs are two 12 ga. 375g DJHPs and two 20 ga. 260g DJHPs.
