I expect that they've been shot at with anything and everything. One year a doe I got had shotgun pellets under her hide. Also saw a guy shoot a dink buck pretty much in the rancher's yard with an old .45-70 with 400 grain cast bullets. Went down fast but didn't die. The bullet ricocheted off the ground on the other side. His hunt was over before it started.

Grafs in Missouri has them, but no 139s. You might call and ask if they expect to get more.

Does Hornady have a retail outlet?

After reading some comments about the SSTs, I'm going to reconsider my decision to use them. Would the interbonds be any better [or worse] for lopes than the interlocks?

Interlocks are all you need. The Interbond is designed for bigger stuff like elk and moose so it will punch deep before full expansion.

Thanks. I've got scads of the interlocks left.

My favorite is my .270 Weatherby Mag in a custom Mark V action, McMn stock, Douglas 26 inch match barrel firing 140gr Failsafe bullets pushed at 3300fps by 79 gr of RL25. It's worked perfectly on two Montana lopes , one AZ lope, five sheep, one Barren Ground cariboo, several mule and whitetail, and lotsa yotes. GJ

I have a 25-06, however, I really shoot well with the .223. I am I only one that shoots a .223 for antelope?
good luck to all

Probably not, but WY has a minimum bullet weight of 60 grains if you use one there.

Custom 700 in 6.5 Creed for me. It’s hat I use for pretty much everything.
I want to build a 22 Creedmoor in the near future. I think it would be a lazer on goats with the heavier offerings.

It's educational to hang around game processors, chat with the help/owner and find out what to use and what not to use. See what's brought in shot to pieces.

You might call Hornady and ask if they would tell you where they last shipped some to.

I seriously doubt they he could talk with anyone from the company that could or would tell him that, especially since they probably aren't even making that particular bullet any more.

You have nothing to lose by trying.

Have you tried looking on ammoseek? They sell reloading components and bullets as well as loaded factory ammo.

True! I have to make a run over to Kalamazoo to my back cracker tomorrow and I'll stop by the best two shops in this area and see if they have any of what he needs. If they do I'll buy a box and send him a PM.
I used to shoot the interbonds in my Creedmoor. Their availability in stores has come in spurts the last couple years (for superformance loaded ammo in the Creedmoor cartridge at least). I believe they paused the interbond production for a year or so when they were ramping up their ELD line. They then started producing interbonds again once they'd made a glut of ELD.
Could be they quit making the 7mm interbond for good. Beats me.
