Guessing the ELD-X took it's place. ELD-X is a superior bullet and has the locking band that the Interbonds did.They are completely different animals. The inter bond is a bonded core bullet similar to the accubond. This ensures that you will not experience core separation from the jacket and increases weight retention. The eld x does have an interlock ring but is not bonded and is essentially a cup andcore bullet and is designed to shed weight and often times the core and jacket will separate.

All I’ve seen then say was that the inter bonds are suspended production.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the SST is not as tough as the interbond ie weight retention
Not even close. I've tested the 2 side by side. I have a thread that's a few years old on here somewhere showing the results. The Interbond retained weight and mushroomed beautifully, while tye SST often detonated, or at least separated from the jacket. I've been pleased as punch with my Interbonds, glad I bought so many last time I found them.

They suspended production during the ammo shortage and refuse to comment on the subject. I hound them to no end on facebook, Twitter, and by email; the only thing they have ever said was to use SST since they have the same ballistic coefficient. I've even started making comment of switching to Nosler Accubonds.

If you would have started with the Nosler Accubond's. You would have never had to change.👍👍

Just go to an accubond and never worry about it again. I used to shoot the interbonds and loved them, but there are other fish in the sea.:yeah: love accubonds.

One shoots a 300 RUM at 3300 fps with180gr. Hornady Interlocks. He figures he has killed 12 to 15 bulls with that combo from 30 to 600 yards and they have performed well.
One shoots a 300 win mag and shoots factory 2960 fps Remington Coreloks 180gr. Hes killed bulls the last 3 years ranging from 80 to 250 yards and they have performed well
I would have thought the Interlocks at that velocity would have not performed well at close range but he has no issues at all
I shoot 130gr Interlocks out of my 270 for deer and they are great and I will definitely see how they shoot out of the new x bolt

I prefer a bonder bullet for Elk with decent BC. I most likely will be running Accubond or Scirocco
Post by: biggfish on February 02, 2018, 10:10:21 PM
Interbond had better price and availability over Accubonds. I have been reloading hornady for years, I haven't hunted with a rifle for years so I haven't worried about it. I recently purchased a .300 win mag and would like bonded bullets for hunting moose and bear. The sst with the rapid controlled expansion look good for sheep, goat, and antelope. The two bullets are supposed to be matched ballistically, so in theory you should be able to interchange the bullets without changing scope zero if you keep the same grain weight. That's why I'm going to use SST and hope that one day they will return. If they don't I'll have to make that decision down the line to change brand to use bonded where I feel they are a better fit or use the SST which would likely still get the job done. Which also happens to be what hornady will suggest if you press them on the matter, they changed the Superformance line to SST bullets where they all used to be interbond.They suspended production during the ammo shortage and refuse to comment on the subject. I hound them to no end on facebook, Twitter, and by email; the only thing they have ever said was to use SST since they have the same ballistic coefficient. I've even started making comment of switching to Nosler Accubonds.

:yeah: Unless ultra long range then not sure bonded fly as true.

I'm not a long range aficionado, but I can say that I felt the SST was slightly more accurate than the Interbond, at least in my rifle. It wasn't enough for me to worry about in normal hunting situations. Ultra long range it could make a difference.

Interbonds are not discontinued.They were suspended for a couple years production started back up late last year but still hard to find on shelves. Midway has some and mist other websites I've checked are now backorderable. Local stores here have nothing. I'm going by fall it's back to the way it was before they suspended production.

The "dilemma"
Buy 12 boxes so I have a good supply and then learn they don't group for me
or
Buy 1 box and they shoot lights out and then cant get any more
So many good bullets now a days
Post by: gearjunkie on February 17, 2018, 06:43:51 PM
compared to others (Nosler) which packs 50 in box, which people perceive that they cost more? Not true, but they are harder to sell
at nearly 60.00 a box. If they do shoot well you will have plenty of bullets left over after load development for a couple boxes of hunting
ammo. Just returned from a show and Thursday night had dinner a few brews with Jason Hornady, who is a guy that cares about
hunters and shooter more than than ever. Great Guy!!! WGS Guns does have a good selection of Interbonds.

Just a little side note, one of the reasons a lot of stores don't have Interbonds is that Hornady packs 100 bullets in a box8 years for first post or is system on the fritz? heh Welcome to the show!
