Interbonds work for me in both 150 & 165 gr.

I haven't shot anything with them,butThe 308 180gr IB have shot well in a couple rifles and not so well in another two. I liked them when they half the price of ABs.

Accubonds for me.
Tried the interbonds (150gr) in two 30.06s with several different powders; accuracy was terrible(+2" 3 shot groups @ 100 yds).
Accubonds(165gr & 180gr) in my 30.06 both shoot sub 1/2" 3 shot groups consistently. I might add that this is the 1st 165gr bullet I've been able to shoot accurately in a 30 cal. rifle(tried in two 300 mags and three 30.06s).
My 7mm mag Ruger 77 shoots 160gr Accubonds sub-MOA(very finicky rifle with most bullets) as does my 270win with 140gr Accubonds.
On game performance with the 270 and 7mm Accubonds has been stellar(complete pass throughs w/ lots of blood and dead deer a few yards away if not DRT). Last year's mulie buck was shot at 260yds at a steep quartering toward angle(7mm, 160gr Accubond) and the bullet pretty much went stem to stern before exiting. My buddy witnessed the shot through his binos and said he'd never seen so much blood spray on impact, DRT. Lost the shoulder but suprisingly little bloodshot meat in the hind quarter. Hoping to try the aught-six this year.
Least finicky and most accurate bullet I've loaded to date and Nosler's seconds are easy on the wallet.
I'm glad to see that some are getting Interbonds to shoot but they wouldn't for me. It's obvious from the responses here that I'm not alone. OTOH, I really like and load a lot of Hornady Interlocks, in fact I haven't found a rifle that won't shoot them accurately.
Go figure, Leftybolt

in a recent issue of Rifle or Handloader there was a very interesting article of a gentleman trying to squeeze the utmost accuracy from an initialle very accurate 308 changing all different variables like powder, case, primer, etc.
the most accurate hunting bullet tested was the Interbond.

I haven't tried the Accubond since I have had great success and performance from the 139gr IB in my 7mm-08.
