Hornady Interbond Back in production!

If I hear anything I will post it here.In response to an email from a friend Hornady has spent a fortune getting the CX line of bullets on the market in many different calibers so I don't expect to see new Interbonds anytime soon,if ever again.

There is however a new Speer line called the Impact. Bt boat tail bonded but it seems the jacket is thin from front to back. Along with the Norma bondstrike which seem hard to find. Scirocco which I have limited supply are great but they've gone way up in price last I seen was around $110 ish per 100. Well everything has gone way up.

meatyrem that is true buddy!All reloading componants are over the top and I don't see them coming back down anytime soon,if ever!
I have some Speer Inpact 190 gr loads to try to work up but other things got in the way.Some on this site has good reports on the Impact bullets.Sockeye66 is one that has used them with great success.Scirocco II bullets are real good bullets as well.
For hunters/shooters we have never had it so good!

Dagnabit! The 139gr IB shoots like a laser out of my 280 AI's and now I want to try them in my son's 7mm-08 and they are no more, <bleeeeeeep>! I'll pray they eliminate the ELD-X line and get back to making the Interbond like a responsible company would

Anyone care to part with some 139's??

I hear ya. I have two or four boxes that should last me a while. I only found out about the dropped line as I was considering an Interbond in a lighter weight for my 7-08. They shoot as accurately a Nosler Ballistic Tips which was what I used for years in it. I prefer Interbonds to the GMX I have in .30 cal. Tried the Accubond 130s in the .260 and the accuracy was nowhere near where it should have been. Switched that gun out to Sierra Game Kings as the season was opening soon and I shot up three boxes of Accubonds trying to get a load to be accurate. Three or four powders up and down charge scale, bullet seating up and down looking for improvement, changed primers. Gave up and got great accuracy with the SGK on the first day. I had spent all summer searching for the Accubonds load that would shoot in that gun. The gun said no.

Let's just hope they can get them started again.

They've said in their podcast that the CX is taking the place of the Interbond, and they don't expect to bring them back.

We're they told that's not a good decision?

I informed them that they were missing a share of the market that nosler has had but was losing due to lack of supply.
Just like others on this thread, I have enough interbonds to keep my 280AI fed for quite some time so I'm not worried about it just like Hornady.

Yes they are. Accubond, scirocco, bondstrike, impact are the competition. The latter two are not easy to find and the scirocco have skyrocketed. Last time I got interbonds they were $62 per 100 so I grabbed every box they had. Not like the scirocco which are $110 per box.
