Uhhh........negative. The interbond is a weight retention bullet, and is NOT designed to desintegrate at all. It's Hornady's attempt to make a bullet that performs/retains weight as good as a partition/accubond.

The Interbond bullet is designed to penetrate then disintegrate within the body cavity which causes the deer to drop in its tracks. Huh?!? Interbond is a bonded bullet. It is a tough bullet that is made to expand but hold together and not shed it weight for deep penetration.

I've shot Hornady ammunition for over 30 years, starting when they were branded as FRONTIER and have never had an issue with their ammunition for any caliber that I shoot. Currently, my weapon is a Weatherby Vangard .308 and for the past 4 years I am using the Hornady Interbond type of bullet with a very high performance rate,i.e. the deer I shot have gone no more than 5 yards from where they were standing. The Interbond bullet is designed to penetrate then disintegrate within the body cavity which causes the deer to drop in its tracks. Consequently, from the sound that you described emitting from your first shot, my conclusion would be that your bullet struck an unseen branch and disintegrated! I've had that very same situation happen, and located a 4ft tall ground sprout that was "killed" by my bullet, instead of the deer! A product description of interbond bullets.

When someone says that every deer they have ever shot with X caliber or X bullet is DRT or never goes more than 5 yards, yadda, yadda, yadda, - I pretty much take everything after that with a big old grain of salt.
And a ton of people say it.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

It’s not that I think they all are full of BS about it (though many are), it’s that they attribute it to one factor - which shows they don’t know very much about the subject overall. IMO about 80% of folks under 40 are target shooters who just happen to be in the field using animals as their targets.

Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Why not stir the pot on Monday. This is the buck I shot at with the disappearing bullet in the exact original spot. No sign of injury. Now I’m wondering what buck I did shoot with my second shot? Dang I’m frustrated again!
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Agree, I've dropped some on the spot but have had to track most.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
