My Interbond has a Cannelure??

I have shot several deer with SST's in my 280 Remington.
The kills were dramatic to say the least.
I am using them again this year.

Which SSTs, Interlock or Interbonded? The 280 pushes the 140 grain bullets between 2800/3000, depending on how hot it's loaded.

How close were the Deer?

I use the Interlock versions regularly as well in my 7x57, 7-08, 280rem, and 6.5x55 T3. None of them are loaded beyond 2900fps.

If the shot is over 100yds there's usually a good exit wound, and the wound channel is massive, which is why I will hold the shot if it isn't an easy boiler room shot presented.

I use a 98 mauser chambered for 338-08 from blinds and tree stands. Mind you, I won't be climbing any tree stands in the foreseeable future. Maybe after my knee is replaced??????????
 
I've used the SST but in heavy for Calibre weights and they were sweet per say.
An it was lower velocity rounds (708) 160s an (308) 180s ..
I may get some for the 270 as roumer has it they shoot the same POI the SST and IB .. win win maybe.

Interesting about the run outs, there's 2 more boxes left , reduced from like $130 down to $110... $20 postage to get them here so works out still $1.30 a tip....

Premium stuff (there is worse prices eg Accubonds, Partition, swifts Sci, etc)

I saw some recently. Can't remember where as I wasn't looking for them in particular but they're still out there.

OP I have the exact same bullet on my shelf, no cannelure though. I'd love to know how to tell an interbond from an SST now...

Put one on a bench grinder man!

I'm not, as I'll await to see Hornady answer an then work it out with the wholesaler i got em from.

Too pricey for me to cut in half yet 😂😂

They are absolutely accubonds, .257 110gr to be specific. No hornady involvement in that part situation. They were pulled from nosler factory ammunition. I only mentioned it to demonstrate that the manufacturers sometimes make changes to the products they load vs what is available to reloaders.

I didn't mean hornady and nosler were the same. Lol
I meant it like one big manufacturer does it for their loaded ammo, I'm assuming they all do. And mentioning it was interesting, I know a few reloading component accubonds with cannelures, be weird opening up a box and it's on ones that normally don't have them. But the accubond the white tip is a dead giveaway.

Is there two SSTs? I've always known the Interlock, SST, and Interbond as 3 separate products. Interbond being a bonded SST basically, while the Interlock has no plastic tip.

You're right.

When Hornady first started offering the SST IL, the number on the box was the same, but the IL bullet boxes had a suffix. It was impossible to tell the difference between the two. The Interbond had a different number and was almost identical, but had a more pronounced secant.

This was back in the day of presspaper boxes, with steel corner clamps.

Ordering bullets back then was a real problem, simply because most distributors didn't know there was a difference.

I have a tendency to lump them all together, which is my bad.

The original SST (Super Shock Tip) bullets had long secants and a jacket that didn't vary in thickness. It wasn't meant for shots at close ranges, and Hornady commented on this when they were introduced.

The Interbond on the other hand had a short secant, where the jack was quite thin, and at the junction of the sidewall, the jacket thicknesses were about 4x thicker, to a normal cup and core base. Good bullets.

The thing to remember with these bullets, they are traditional "old school" cup and core bullets, and shouldn't be loaded to exceed their performance parameters.
