The Hornady InterLock Bullets, chambered in .270 caliber with a soft point design, are the epitome of precision engineering tailored for big game hunting. With a diameter of .277 inches and a weight of 150 grains, these bullets offer hunters an ideal combination of size and heft to tackle even the most challenging targets.
Key to their performance is the bullet's ballistic coefficient of .462 and sectional density of .279. These figures ensure that each shot maintains its velocity over distance while delivering significant impact energy upon reaching its target. The strategic inclusion of inner grooves weakens the upper section of the jacket just enough to facilitate optimal expansion at varying velocities.
The tapered jacket is meticulously controlled in thickness, ensuring consistent expansion without compromising penetration power. This design envelopes a robust one-piece core that stays intact during impact, unlike divided cores which may separate under stress. The result is superior mass retention crucial for creating deep wound channels necessary for clean kills on large game animals.
An integral feature setting these bullets apart is Hornady’s trademarked InterLock® ring system—a raised ring embedded within the bullet's core that secures both core and jacket together during expansion. Coupled with this innovation is a cannelure groove designed not only for precise crimping but also as part of this comprehensive locking mechanism.
In essence, Hornady has crafted ammunition where every component works harmoniously towards achieving remarkable reliability and accuracy in field conditions—traits appreciated by seasoned hunters who demand nothing less than excellence from their equipment.
If your pursuit involves taking down formidable game with confidence in your gear’s capability to deliver one-shot lethality efficiently, then look no further than Hornady's expertly engineered InterLock series—where tradition meets technology seamlessly.
