Hornady InterBond Bullets Back in Production


Grand Island, NE., – Hornady® InterBond® bullets are back and better than ever! Expanded production capacity and improved manufacturing techniques have been incorporated that assist in the return of the accurate and consistent, bonded bullet.Unlike partitioned or dual-core bullets, where the front core can separate from the bullet mass, the proprietary bonding process of the InterBond® bullet holds together in a single mass that delivers a deep, wide wound channel without over-penetrating.

The bonding process, along with a thick, stiff jacket, allows InterBond® bullets to retain more than 90% of their mass, even through hide and bones. Plus, they rapidly expand to more than twice their diameter for maximum energy transfer. Read more

California Appellate Court Reverses Dismissal of ‘Microstamping’ Lawsuit

NEWTOWN, Conn. – A California Appellate Court has reversed the Fresno Superior Court’s dismissal of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) lawsuit seeking an injunction to block enforcement of the state’s ammunition microstamping law and remanded the case back to the lower court to hear arguments.

“We are pleased by today’s ruling because it means we will now be able to prove in court that this ill-considered law must be enjoined because it is literally impossible to comply with its requirements, and the law never requires the impossible. We have long maintained that this nascent, unproven and unreliable technology should not have been mandated. When we ultimately prevail in this case, law-abiding consumers in California will once again be able to purchase new models of pistols this law currently prevents our industry members from selling in the state,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel.
