I was using the 129 grain Interlock in the .260 at 2700+ fps. It killed every deer I shot with it, but was opening a little fast for my preference. Though I understand dead deer is a measure of success, I wasn't getting many exits, and decided to try a tougher bullet. I tried the 129 Interbonds for the first time last fall. The wind was blowing hard and the mule deer buck (smaller rack, but good sized body) was close to a steep dropoff. Didn't want him to run, so held on the shoulder, and that deer DROPPED. The Interbond went through both shoulders, left an exit would about the size of a quarter or a little bigger, and I was impressed. Maybe on a lung shot it would be too tough, but time will tell. I suspect at Creedmoor velocities, similar to the .260, the Interbond would be tough enough for moose and bear.
