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.
