The Hornady InterLock Bullet in 8mm caliber stands as a testament to meticulous engineering, crafted specifically for the serious hunter. With a diameter of .323 inches and weighing in at 170 grains, this bullet offers not just power but precision. Its ballistic coefficient of .217 ensures that your shot travels with minimal drag, maintaining velocity over long distances.
What sets the Hornady InterLock apart is its innovative design features aimed at maximizing performance during big game hunts. The inner grooves are strategically placed to weaken the upper section of the jacket, allowing controlled expansion upon impact. This feature works harmoniously with a tapered jacket where thickness is precisely calibrated to ensure optimal expansion across various velocities.
The one-piece core construction is another hallmark of these bullets. Unlike divided cores that may separate on impact, Hornady’s design retains more mass and energy due to their proprietary InterLock® system. The raised ring embedded within keeps both core and jacket firmly united during expansion, resulting in massive wound channels that increase your chances for a clean one-shot kill.
A cannelure provides accurate crimping which contributes further to consistency shot after shot. Hunters appreciate how this element complements the overall structural integrity provided by the InterLock® ring system.
In essence, when you choose Hornady's 8mm InterLock Bullets for your next hunt, you're selecting ammunition backed by solid guarantees and field-proven high performance designed explicitly with big game hunting in mind.
