The Hornady InterBond bullet features a bonded core that prevents jacket-core separation, combined with a streamlined polymer tip and InterLock ring for controlled expansion. The bonding process molecularly fuses the jacket and core for weight retention exceeding 90% through tough game. Its boat-tail design and high ballistic coefficient make it effective at extended hunting ranges while the bonded core ensures reliable expansion even at lower velocities. The InterBond is particularly well-suited for medium to large game like deer, elk, and moose. Handloaders appreciate its balance of accuracy, penetration, and expansion for all-around hunting performance.
