Hornady Interbonds
« on: February 23, 2004, 03:24:13 PM »
Anybody try the new Hornady Interbonds yet?  I bought some for the .308 and have some loaded up, but with 3' of snow on the level I can't get out to shoot.  May have to tough it out and get the snowshoes on to put the targets out.

I use the .284" 154 grain Hornady Interbond in my 280 Ackley Improved.  They are driven 2950 fps in my 24" barreled Weatherby Mark V Lightweight Synthetic and group five shots under an inch at 100 yards.  I shot this buck while he was quartering away at about 100 yards.  Complete pass through and he flipped end for end and dropped at the shot.

I run a 150 grain interbond in my 7600 carbine 30/06. The gun loves it on paper. I shoot around an inch to just under an inch at 100 yds. This year was the first I had a chance to shoot any game. I snuck up on a nice 8 pointer in his bed, the shot was pretty much straight on at 20-30 yds. I place the bullet right at the base of his neck and he never had a chance to get out of his bed. All seemed well, when the deer was scun, I was very surprised to see that the core had seperated from the jacket. While the deer obviously died, I was very disappointed with the bullet especially since Hornady touts that the core will never ever ever ever seperate from the jacket. I was lucky this day and the shot placement is really what did the trick (as it is always the determining factor). When I brought it up with Hornady- they were quick to point out that their bullet performed "flawlessly" because the deer died. Wow, didn't like that rationale at all.
I am still a Hornady fan , but my advice is to stay away from the interbonds and go with the interlocks. The interbonds are not worth the money to punch paper with.
Anyways my two cents. My first experience with them and it stunk
