Hornady InterLock .308 180gr Spire Point Bullets

Hornady InterLock .308 180-Grain Spire Point Bullets

Hornady's InterLock bullet represents a proven approach to big game hunting ammunition. These .308-caliber, 180-grain projectiles combine several design features that work together to deliver consistent performance in the field.

Core Design Features

The InterLock system employs a raised ring embedded within the bullet's core that locks the jacket and core together during expansion. This mechanical bond prevents the separation that can occur with traditional bullet designs, ensuring the projectile retains maximum mass and energy as it penetrates game.

The one-piece core construction eliminates the weak points found in divided-core designs. Combined with the InterLock ring, this approach produces a more massive wound channel and more reliable energy transfer to the target.

Jacket Technology

The tapered jacket features precisely controlled thickness that allows reliable expansion across a wide velocity range. This means the bullet performs consistently whether fired from a standard rifle or a magnum chambering.

A cannelure groove provides two functions: it ensures accurate and consistent crimping during reloading, and it works in concert with the InterLock ring to maintain core-jacket integrity throughout the expansion process.
