Hornady InterLock .308 165gr Soft Point Bullets

Hornady InterLock .308 165gr Soft Point Bullets

Hornady's InterLock bullet represents a proven approach to big game hunting ammunition. The design centers on a simple but effective principle: keep the core and jacket together during expansion to maximize energy transfer and create a more effective wound channel.

Key Features

InterLock Ring System A raised ring embedded in the bullet's core locks the jacket and core together during expansion. This prevents separation and ensures the bullet retains maximum mass and energy through the target.

Tapered Jacket Design The jacket thickness is precisely controlled and tapered for consistent expansion across a wide range of velocities. Whether you're shooting at close range or extended distance, the bullet performs predictably.

One-Piece Core Construction Unlike bullets with divided cores that can separate, the InterLock's solid core stays intact. This design philosophy has proven itself in the field for decades.

Cannelure The crimping groove serves dual purposes: it allows for accurate and consistent bullet seating during reloading, and it works in concert with the InterLock ring to maintain structural integrity during expansion.
