[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 300077, member: 4191"] I tried Hornady Interbonds about 3-4 years ago. 139 grain 7mm. About 20% of the bullets had crooked plastic tips. When I rolled the bullets across the counter top, the plastic tips would wobble around the longitudinal axis of the bullets. I sent the unused ones back to Hornady and they sent me another box of bullets. There was another 20 crooked tipped bullets in that box. A couple of the tips were loose and when a co-worker handled one, the plastic tip fell out in his hand. I showed my crooked tips to two other co-workers and they looked through bullets in two boxes of 30 caliber interbonds they had. Brought them to work to show me that theirs had crooked tips also. We all quit using them after that. I did shoot a 1 1/2 year old bull moose with one of the 139 gr 7mms. The bullet performed well and brought the moose down quickly. For longer range use, I just couldn't get comfortable with the crooked-tipped interbonds. I don't see how they could do anything to enhance the accuracy of the bullets. I stuck with Nosler Accubonds and I've never seen crooked tips with the Noslers - either their BTs or ABs. Whether or not Hornady has figured out how to set the plastic tips in their bullets concentrically or not, I don't know. The fact that they sent me out a replacement box of bullets with just as many crooked tips as the original box didn't speak well for the seriousness of their quality control. Maybe the crooked tips don't matter on the targets. But I'm not willing to burn up a barrel trying to figure it out. [/QUOTE]
