Hornady Interbonds
I was thinking about loading the hornady interbonds in my 300RUM. I would be using them mostly for black bear, but also for elk. If anyone has any opinions, or experience withthem, please let me know. Also, if anyone has a good load to try for them, I would appreciate it.Thanks in advance.

Nosler 180gn AccuBonds
I have tested both the Nosler 180gn AccuBond and 180gn Partition in my Ruger M77 30-06 and have found that they are as good as equal in terms of penetration, expansion and weight retention.
180gn AccuBond on the left and 180gn Partition on the right.
180gn AccuBonds produced this is0.39" group at 100m from my Ruger.

RE: Hornady Interbonds
I use the Hornady 165 grain SP interlock bullet for some 35 years ,my powder of choice IMR 3031 .I used this load in A3-03 springfiels since 1968 and have say never lost a deer with load.I just pick up a H@R Handi -for $179.00 and seem to favor the same load .The above target is at the 100 yard with 3 shots a little under 7/8" IMR 3031 44.5 grains of powder

RE: Hornady Interbonds
The InterBond will retain more weight and expand to a larger diameter than the AccuBond or Partition but it will not penetrate as deep
Most folks think penetration is directly linked to retained weight but in fact it has a higher correlation to expanded diameter.
