With a diameter of 0.355 inches and a weight of 170 grains, these bullets are perfect for target shooting, hunting, and self-defense. The bullet features a flat nose design, which provides a smooth, aerodynamic profile that helps to reduce drag and improve accuracy.
Features and Specifications
The Hornady Interlock Rifle Bullets boast several innovative features that set them apart from other bullets on the market. Some of the key features include:
- Inner Grooves: These strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket, ensuring consistent, controlled expansion even at long range.
- Tapered Jacket: The jacket thickness is precisely controlled for expansion at all velocities, ensuring reliable performance.
- One-Piece Core: The InterLock retains more mass and energy, providing deep penetration and large, consistent wound channels that ensure quick, clean kills.
- Cannelure: Provides accurate and consistent crimping, working in conjunction with the InterLock ring to ensure the core and jacket remain locked during expansion.
- InterLock Ring: The raised ring is embedded in the bullet’s core, ensuring the core and jacket are locked in one piece during expansion, retarding expansion and maintaining mass.
