Hornady InterLock .257 117gr Boat Tail Spire Point
Hornady's .257 117-grain InterLock bullets feature a patented ring system that locks the core and jacket together during expansion, ensuring reliable performance for handloaders and hunters seeking consistent, controlled expansion.
Hornady InterLock .257 117gr Boat Tail Spire Point Bullets
Hornady's InterLock bullet design represents a proven approach to controlled expansion and reliable performance in the field. These .257-caliber, 117-grain projectiles are engineered for hunters and handloaders who demand consistency and dependability.
Key Features
- InterLock Ring System: A raised ring embedded in the bullet's core locks the jacket and core together during expansion, preventing separation and retaining maximum mass and energy.
- Tapered Jacket: Precisely controlled jacket thickness ensures predictable expansion across a wide range of velocities, from moderate to magnum loads.
- One-Piece Core: Unlike divided-core designs, the solid core construction resists fragmentation and maintains structural integrity through impact.
- Cannelure: The crimping groove provides secure seating in reloaded cartridges while working in concert with the InterLock ring to maintain bullet integrity.
- Boat Tail Design: The streamlined rear profile improves ballistic coefficient (.391) and long-range accuracy.
Performance Characteristics
With a sectional density of .253, these bullets deliver excellent penetration characteristics suitable for medium to large game. The controlled expansion creates a more effective wound channel while maintaining the bullet's structural integrity—a critical advantage when pursuing tougher game at extended ranges.
