308 Hornady InterBonds 165 gr. performance larger game

[MagTen]

Anyone have experience with Hornady InterBonds 165 gr. in 308 caliber for the larger game? I fired one of my reloads in my 308 into water jugs and it performed very well. 155.5 gr. fired weight. Penetrated into fourth jug. Mushroomed very well. Petals very thick. The interlocks I have tested pretty much blew apart.

Yep, even 165's but in 06 and 300WM mostly on deer (easy to kill just not as easy as antelope) and a couple elk. Never recovered one and pretty short distances of around 300 yards. They are more picky for accuracy than the interlock for me I have not recovered one of them yet, and on game performance is the same as interlock. Went away from them as the AB seems easier to shoot accurately and performs the same.
