Hornady InterLock .452 Caliber Bullets
Hornady's InterLock bullets represent a proven approach to rifle bullet design, combining traditional exposed lead tips with modern engineering for reliable field performance.
Key Features
InterLock Design
- Raised ring embedded in the bullet's core locks the jacket and core together during expansion
- Prevents core-jacket separation that can reduce penetration and energy retention
- Ensures consistent, controlled expansion across a wide velocity range
Controlled Expansion
- Exposed lead tip initiates expansion on impact
- Inner grooves strategically weaken the upper jacket section for predictable expansion
- Tapered jacket thickness precisely controlled for reliable performance at all practical velocities
Ballistic Efficiency
- Secant ogive design provides excellent aerodynamic efficiency
- One-piece core construction resists fragmentation
- Cannelure groove ensures accurate crimping and works with the InterLock ring to maintain structural integrity
