Hornaday Interbonds

[scott_r]

Any of you guys reloading w/ these?? I bought a box of 100 for 39.00 which seems a good price for a bonded bullet but have not heard much about their performance on deer?? I know they group terribly out of my .270 and am switching to a CT Ballistic tip.

Cheers!!

I just took a mulie at around 200 yards with one last week. It was a brisket shot and he went down hard. I didn't recover the bullet as it's deep inside the spine, there was a little meat damage in the right shoulder/chest but considering the bullet placement I would've expected the same with a few other bullets. I shoot them out of my 30.06 A-bolt and they group well, not the best I have but will group around an inch on any given day. Not at al unhappy, if the butcher gets the bullet back for me then I'll see!!

I shot a nice mulie buck two years ago with the 150 gr Interbond in my .30-06 at about 175 yards or so (broadside lung shot). I wasn't sure where my first shot hit him so I shot him again for good luck :wink:

Both bullets were complete pass throughs and there wasn't much meat damage. They shot ok groups, about 1.5 inchs or so for 3 shots, but not great (Remington 700). I've heard others talk about really bad accuracy in the .277 weights, it kind of makes you wonder if the first ones had some sort of defect. :?:

I wasn't completely happy with the accuracy out of my rifle, but didn't really take any time to tinker with them. I did do some expansion testing into phone books (not exactly scientific), and they held together well. I'd consider using them again, but I'm using a different rifle this year.
