Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Any word on Hornady Interbond bullets?

?

I looked at a few of mine and I didn’t see any words.

hahaha - you knocked me plum off the couch with that one

I'm wondering about them too....I'd buy a few if I could find them

I got a box in my safe and planning on reloading them some day….you know how that goes.

I’ve seen them at Bruno’s in Phoenix recently. They just changed to a new website but it shows a few calibers in stock.

Bruno's is stocked up pretty good and good prices -considering- . Although Out of Stock on .308 Interbond bullets , actually out in every caliber.

Hornady bullets, Kittery Trading Post.

3 words- piss on Hornydee

I never could get them to consistently shoot.

Funny thing, I looked at some of mine and they say, "Get the vax...or else." Thought that was odd.

When I worked up a load with the 165's out of my .30-06 and they shot fantastic I then went and bought up all I could find.

I haven't come across any in a while now...

I bought a couple of boxes of 30 cal 165 grain a couple months ago. I run them in my 7.82 Patriot, and they are pretty effective.

I suspect Hornady will discontinue the Interbond. On one of their podcasts, I don’t recall specifically, but a Hornady rep said that the Interbond filled a niche that doesn’t really exist. He didn’t elaborate or continue on about the Interbond. I think it has a history of acccurwcy problems and doesn’t sell well, so they’re writing it off as an unwarranted item. It doesn’t fit into their classic interlock line or the new LR trend of the ELD-X and ELD-M. They were real quick to move past the Interbond.

For Hornady to make the claim that the InterBond filled a niche that doesn't exist is like making the same claim about every bonded bullet. . ... . That is to say the Nosler Accubond, Norma Oryx, Norma Bondstrike, Swift Scirocco, Speer Impact ..... all have no niche ..... which is total BS. I think the accuracy reputation did it in and Mr Hornady did not want to spend the money on the manufacturing shortfalls causing the accuracy problem.

Yea, those bonded bullets are just a flash in the pan...

Just like when I asked the Hornady rep why the Interlock is offered in their Dangerous Game Series ammo with a Cape Buffalo pictured on the box.
His response was "the Interlock is a proven performer".

Yea...

I never could get the 150gr 7mm Interbonds to shoot. Not a fan

I fought with that 154 a bunch. They were decent but never great. The 150's for the 270 were a complete nightmare in a few rifles. I swear they must look like a loose tire flying through the air.

Interbonds worked fine much like accubonds if you actually hit something with them. Accuracy was hit and miss with more misses, they gained that reputation as soon as they were introduced, very few people ever made repeat purchases.

It falls in line with much of their Hornady Custom handgun ammo, like 9mm, with a hunting moniker on the box. Okay, so the XTP is known as a hunting bullet, but really Hornady, in a 9mm?
