Larry338,
I' ve found the Hornady Interbonds at Cabela' s. Last time I talked the people at Sinclair, they said they expected their order from Hornady around 1 May. The box I recieved from Cabelas was the 150 grain .308. I found the tolerance on weight and diameter to be very tight, better than most I' ve checked. Haven' t had the chance to test fire them yet. Maybe this week end. I hope that this is of some help. Good luck. [&:]

I' d bet that both companies are being extremely careful to see that the first of these new bonded bullets are the best possible for the introductions. There will be a lot of chat about them and most of us listen to each other more than we listen to the bullet companies.

I haven' t seen any of the Accubonds yet either and I tried alot of different places either Sold Out or Not in Stock Yet.
Shooting Times has a Story on thses this Month.If the Accubond does as Advistzed in this article it sould fall between the BT. and Partiton prefromace wise.
What I would to know is why did Nosler come out with this in the bullets wieghts they did? The .277 140 gr. ok but a .308 200 gr instead of 150gr to 180gr???

I think the reason Nosler came out with these bullet weights is the length of these bullets. They are obviously designed for the super mags except for the 270i because they will intrude into standard cases more than a comparable bullet. .

Picking up a box 225-grain Accubonds was a breeze for me.
I' ll be reloading a bunch this weekend with RL-19 and RL-22 powder and then off to the range I go. If I get better accuracy with these Accubonds than I do with my Partitions out of my 338 Win. Mag., then I' ll be using the Accubonds this fall hunting season and maybe beyond that.

3-shot group at 100 yards. Winchester Model 70 338 Win. Mag. 225-grain Accubonds. 72-grains of RL-22 powder hiding in Winchester cases; the primers were CCI non-magnum.
I' m gonna see what I can get for accuracy wise with 77 & 78 grains of RL-22 powder this weekend.
