I used to use the 165 gr. interbond factory loaded ammo. The ammo was real accurate and worked well on deer.

Hornady is a great brand and most guns seem to shoot them well. They are great on game, but so is the core-lokt. I don't think you will be disappointed if you start using them.

Ihave shot both types from my rifle, both very accurate, and results were dead deer. I would give the edge to the Core-lokt. Shoot what your gun likes and hit the vitals. Result will be dead deer...

Last season I used Winchester Supreme 150gr. Ballistic Tips, also very accurate, but gave no blood trail; I didn't lose an animal,andI switched to the Core-lokts for that reason.IMO,for the money they are hard to beat.

My gun seems to be very picky on ammo. Not that it will jam but that it doesn't group well. For some reason Federal Fusions are the only ones I've got to group like I want. Winchester Soft Points and Silvertips do okay. I could not get the Ballisitc Silvertips to shoot well at all in mine. I haven't tried Hornady shells but mine doesn't like Remingtons either. Not sure why it's soo picky.

Depends...What are you hunting???

How far would your longest shot be???

i us them thay ar accrut.

What velocity are you looking for? If you're talking about shooting 150 grain bulletsat 2900 fpsin a .30-'06, there's no need for a bonded bullet. If it's > 3300 fpsin a 7mm STW, I'd go with the Interbond.

Within their velocity parameters, they're both well thought-of bullets.

long range for me is 200 and less, is a 7mm rem mag a flat shooter?

RE: core-lokt OR interbond for 30-06
 

my gun dont group very well with Remington core-lokt

SavageHunter44; I shoot a Savage mod. 116, 7mm. mag. and I can't get very good groups with cor-locs, every rifle is different. Mine likes Winchester ballistic silver tips, 150 gr. or the new Win. XP3's 160 gr. and yes the 7 mag is a flat shooter, I picked up a Savage in .270 for X-Mas haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, looking for a scope and waiting for my replacement trigger I ordered, ( non-accura trigger). I wish mine grouped better with the cor-locs, (cheaper) maybe my .270 will.

More or less..............

Could be questionable at 200yds though;):D

RE: core-lokt OR interbond for 30-06
 

The Interbonds were quite accurate for me. Realistically at 200 yards though I don't think you will notice any kind of improvement ballistically.

Have you tried shooting 165 grain bullets? Both of my .30-06's (Rem 700 and Ruger 77)like 165 gr factory rounds in both the Core-Lokt and Winchester Super X rounds.

They tend to shoot165'sbetter than their 150 grain counterparts.

I really like the Interbonds, but unless you're hunting for an animal that would need a bonded bullet (like Elk, Brown Bear), the Core Lokt's are hard to beat for value. TheInterbonds and Nosler Accubonds can get a little pricey.
