Hornady's InterLock 8mm bullets feature a raised ring embedded in the core that locks the jacket and core together during expansion, retaining mass and energy for deep penetration and consistent terminal performance.
The Hornady InterLock bullet represents a proven approach to controlled expansion and reliable terminal performance. These .323" 195-grain spire point projectiles are engineered for hunters and shooters who demand consistency and dependability.
InterLock Ring Design - A raised ring embedded within the bullet's core locks the jacket and core together as a single unit during expansion. This prevents core-jacket separation and ensures the bullet retains mass and energy for deep penetration.
Tapered Jacket - Jacket thickness is precisely controlled to deliver consistent expansion across a wide velocity range. Unlike divided-core designs, the tapered jacket won't separate, maintaining structural integrity throughout the expansion process.
Controlled Expansion - Inner grooves strategically weaken the upper jacket section, promoting consistent expansion even at extended ranges. The exposed lead tip works in concert with the jacket design to initiate reliable mushrooming.
Cannelure - The crimping groove provides accurate and consistent seating in reloaded ammunition while working with the InterLock ring to ensure the core and jacket remain locked during expansion.
These bullets deliver large, consistent wound channels that result in quick, clean kills. The combination of retained mass, deep penetration, and controlled expansion makes them suitable for medium to large game at typical hunting distances.
