Difference b/w Hornady SST and Interbond?

Both have polymer tips. I know the Interbond has a stiffer jacket which is bonded to the core for max weight retention. This lead me to think the SST is more apt to fragment.

SST just like the Nos-Bal-Tip will blow to pieces and the Interbond will not, cause it is a bonded bullet just like the Nos-Accubond. Left you a Private Message.

SST is not just like the Nos. Balistic tip and no, they do not blow to pieces. The Nosler Balistic Tip has a very thick base. the SST does not it has the interlock ring. I have shot some very large whitetails and hogs w/ the 150 NBTs @ 3110+ fps and they performed flawlessly. I load the SSTs frequently too and they are about the same as the NBT but, they both work great on game.

The interbonds are probably very close in performance to the Nosler Partitions. From what I have seen in photos they expand very much like partitions. The good thing w/ the interbonds is that the BC is so much higher than a partion or A-frame.

Good Luck!

Oh, really???



I wish someone had told that to the 130-gr. SST I sent out of my .270 that disappeared inside a doe I shot a few years back. It didn't come out, nor was any trace of it found insude the carcass. POOF! And I didn't even have to say "Abra-cadabra!"

My BT's have gone to pieces too (300WSM, short range, 165 gr) but, and this is a BIG but, then NEVER failed to drop the game! Obviously yours did the same because you were able to look for it. I have used SST's too, with similar results. Your bullet was in there, just lost in the big blood clot that used to the the deer's innards. I have recovered 2 165 grain BT's, both were under 60 grains and mostly just jacket, neither deer went a single step forward.

With that said, I am backing down powder loads with them in my 300WSM because I lose too much meat in whitetails.
