What can anyone tell me about intrbond bullets? Accuracy? Killing power on deer sized game? I am a fan of interlocks in all my 308 rifles. | ||

I don't use them, the 180 BTSP interloc shoots fine for me and I just shoot deer and stuff with it, so don't need a bonded bullet | |||

For shooting deer with 30 caliber rifles, bonded bullets are superfluous, IMO. If your interlocks are providing adequate accuracy, go forth and slay deer! | |||

You can never go wrong using a better bullet, but it isn't necessary for the task. I do believe that bonded offers a more accurate bullet because of it's construction. Member NRA, SCI- Life #358 28+ years now! DRSS, double owner-shooter since 1983, O/U .30-06 Browning Continental set. | |||

"What can anyone tell me about intrbond bullets? Accuracy? Killing power on deer sized game?" They're accurate and they kill deer very dead. | |||

Last year I switched to 130 gr. IBs in my 270. I had been using the 130 gr. Interloc. I use the same charge, get the same velocity and the bullets hit the same spot. I can shoot them interchangably and get a 3/4" group at 100 yds. I haven't shot anything big enough yet to tell if it is worth it, but I'm not complaining. | |||

I started using the 165 gr IB two years ago while working up loads for a 300 WSM. Not only was it one of the most accurate hunting bullets I have ever used, but performance on hogs was outstanding. For most hogs, I try for a broadside shot to take out both lungs. On the 300 lb'ers the gristle plate is substantial. And shooting for the rear up the spine will separate many bullets. I have had only one hog run after being hit with the IB. The others have dropped in their tracks. It was very common when using non-bonded bullets, that when lung-shot, the hogs would usually run 40 - 60 yds before expiring. I was so impressed with the IB's that I now use them for other calibers. | |||

I load the 139gr IB in my 7mm-08. I've only killed two deer with them. Both had 7mm entrance holes and nickle+ exit holes after hitting a shoulder on the first one and the spine on the second one. I have no complaints. RH | |||

Maybe I haven't given the Hornady bullets a fair shot. For years I tried the 140 boat tail interloc in my 270 and with 4 powders and 2 primers, I couldn't get them to shoot in either of my rifles. Then, more recently, I shot over 200 SST bullets in 130 grain and the very best group was 1" and that was from 3 different rifles. I'd say the only "success" I had was when I tried the 165 boat tail interloc in my brother's 300 SAUM. 3 occassions, 1/2" groups, 3 shot strings. With all of the time I spent with them, I decided it was too much work to even try the interbond. I've never had a problem getting Noslers to group well with less than 20 bullets.

I didn;t have any luck w/ the 154grHIB in my 280 or my 7mm Dakota. Both rifles are sub moa w/ many diff. bullets, but I couldn't get the HIB to shoot better than 2MOA. Doubt I will try them again in any caliber. The Accubond is much more accurate across the calibers I have tried. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||
