Anyone have experience with this bullet? I'm led to believe it's Hornady's version of the Nosler Accubond. Am I right?

That is what I understand. I used some when they first came out. Can't remember what caliber. Stayed with accubonds. Didn't have any negatives. Just had good success with the Noslers and didn't see a reason to change.

Most of my hunting, and some by my son over the last few years has been with .30 cal Interbonds. 150 gn, 165 gn and 180 gn shot with 30.06 rifles. We have been completely happy with our success on game. Quite a few Interbonds have passed completely through animals but the recovered ones are generally good mushrooms that held together quite well. Having tried the three projectile weights we find we are gravitating to the 180 gn for everything. This projectile weight seems best for the variety of game we have hunted lately.
I don't know if Interbond is Hornady's version of Accubond. Have just started loading 180 gn Accubonds in a .300 Mag so I guess time will show how close the performance is. Hope this helps.

That sounds about right. Have been using Hornady BTSP Interbonds for years and never had any problems with them. I use them in my Ruger 7mm RM and have taken many dear. I have not used Accubonds but have used Partitions and they did not perform as well as the Interbonds. Hornady SST's is also an excellent bullet choice.

Have loaded 150 gr IB for 30-06 and deer with very good accuracy and 'as advertised' performance. 225gr out of 338 Win mag for a friends Sauer that swiss cheesed a big bull elk in New Mexico this year and gave sub MOA accuracy. Have tried 130gr 270 IBs in 5 rifles and can't get them under 3" at 100 so they have not made it afield. I have also used .257 110gr in the 25WSSM and 257Wby. Very good accuracy in both. On game they are fantastic in the super short and usable in the Wby. but maybe a little messy if you hit something hard under 200 yards. I like them as long as they are anything but .277.

Thanks to all. Good information here. Now to just find some...

I've been using the interbonds for 6-8 years now, out of one of my 270 WSM's, with excellent results. Great little deer combination.
It's a bonded and tipped bullet like the Nosler accubond so I suppose it's designed to be Hornady's answer.

Can anybody find any Interbond bullets. Midway will tell you production is undetermined. I haven't found any for months. If anyone has some 180 grain 30 calibers, please let me know.
I have a 300 H&H that prefers them above all else Accubonds included.

I'll call Hornady tomorrow to see what gives.

I use the 165 gr Interbond in a 300 WSM and so far they have been perfect one shot stoppers. They cut through the mud and gristle plate on a hog without any problems and are extremely accurate in this rifle.

I believe the Interbonds were on Hornady's list for suspended production until they filled orders for the more popular bullets.

I have recovered a .270Win 150gr Interbond bullet from a Kudu and the retaining weight was 84%. The mushroom was 16.8 mm across. This is a mushroom of nearly 3 times the bullet diameter. It is incredible bullets. It was an instant drop.

Awesome hunt! Have you tried Hornady SST's; another great bullet. Also, check out Speer Grand Slams. I have shot these through telephone poles with 75% weight retention and excellent mushrooming. Easy to find bullet; they are stamped "GS" on the bottom.

Shot a smallish whitetail buck with a 338 RCM and a 225 Interbond. Range was approximately 40-50 yards and starting velocity was about 2,500 fps. Bullet totally came apart. Was not impressed.
Since have sold off the remaining Hornadys and bought Nosler 210 partition blems for the next outing. The blems are basically the same price as the Interlocks.

I've shot up a couple of boxes each of all three 338, 225 gr Hornady bullets in my 338 Lapua at a tad over 3000fs and ~2700 fs in my 338-06 into my sand box during load testing...they ALL COME APART and/or mushroom perfectly to some extent. My 338-06 likes the 225 SP and it's digested 15-20 boxes of 225 SP's and the Lapua likes heavier bullets like the 250 and 285 BTHP.

I haven't shot anything larger than sage rats and targets with either for a long time but I also never had a problem with WHAT the bullets did, no matter the brand - usually cheap cup and core Cor-Lokt, Win PP, Speer Hot-Core or Horn SP, as long as it killed whatever I shot at. I've NEVER found ANY bullet of ANY brand that did the "Perfect Mushroom" every time...and that "shrapnel" from a "shattered" bullets keeps on chewing up meat/organs as long as it's moving, allowing for a nice blood trail when I don't stick it quite where it belongs.

For some reason neither of my 338's like Nosler Part's no matter what weight, but I have at least one excellent load using NP's for most of my other 30 cal and above shooters and I tend to reach for them for anything larger than deer/antelope...

Premium bullets are nice for the choice, but for ~90% of most hunting the newer style cup and core or "bonded" style bullets are a step above the "squeezed formed" older bullets and I'm slowly moving towards them as my supplies of older bullets get used up.

All the bullet makers have jumped on that band wagon, They are all the same bullet more or less in that the lead core is soldered to the jacket so the two cannot separate, I say soldered for lack of a better word, at any rate the two components are permently stuck together.

The certainly are good bullets but the Hornady Interlocks are hard to beat as are the old corelokts, and the Nosler partition is still my favorite bullet. Lots of good bullets out there today, wasn't always that way.

found a box of 25 caliber 110 grain Interbonds yesterday. Woo hoo!
