Recovered Hornady Interbond pics
Last Jan. I used a 165 gr. Hornady Interbond to take a whitetail doe at approx. 75 yards. These are loaded in my .30-06 to 2840 fps muzzle velocity.My aim was off a bit andthe bullet hit higher than Ihad intended. It took out about 6 to 8 inches of spine before coming to rest in the backstrap.
I'm really happy with this bullet. I prefer it to the Accubond because in my experience it's more accurate and its terminal performance on game is better. That is, it mushrooms wider and retains more weight. |

ORIGINAL: CZ2506 In my deer camp, tearing up a backstrap is a mandatory 2 point deduction.:D |
RE: Recovered Hornady Interbond pics
I have noticed the accubonds are not great deer bullets. Especially heavy ones. I saw a 160gr .284" accubond hit a deer last year from an STW at 3200fps and it penciled thru. Killed him.
Probably great on elk or moose. I haven't tried the interbond yet. Thanks for the report. |

Wow! Most of the reports I've seen rated the Accubond right up with the Nosler Ballistic Tip for accuracy-very high indeed.
BTW-nice mushroom! Hitting the spine like that no doubt was a severe test of the bullet's ability to hang together. I had a similar hit on a central TX whitetail once with the 117-grain Sierra .257" PSPBTfrom a .25/'06. It also did a job on the spine, but the bullet disappeared into thin air.... |

I see they started making them this year. Also started 150gr .308 bullets. I bet we can get that ultra kicking em at 3500fps if we stuff it with enough go-go juice.:D |

I don't know. I see a lot of that jacket with no lead on it. Looks like it lost a good amount of weight.
Before I switched to Barnes X bullets, I used Trophy Bonded Bear Claws. I save a few. The peeled back jacket has the lead attached to it andmost weigh 95% of what they weighed when they were fired. That's a nice bullet and you got the animal. But, for my 2 cents, I'm using TBBCs if I'm using lead. If not, Barnes Triple Shock all the way. |
