The pursuit of excellence in bullet performance finds its embodiment in the Hornady traditional line. These bullets are crafted with exposed lead tips, a feature that ensures controlled expansion and delivers formidable terminal performance. The design does not merely stop at aesthetics; it delves into functionality with a secant ogive profile—one of the most ballistically efficient shapes ever conceived.
A hallmark innovation within these bullets is the exclusive InterLock® design, which features a raised ring inside the jacket embedded firmly into the bullet's core. This engineering marvel keeps both core and jacket inseparably united during expansion, thereby retaining mass and energy for deep penetration.
The strategic inclusion of inner grooves serves to weaken intentionally specific sections of the jacket’s upper portion, ensuring consistent controlled expansion even over long distances. The tapered jacket further refines this process by maintaining precise control over thickness, allowing for optimal expansion across various velocities without succumbing to separation like lesser two-piece divided cores might.
This meticulous attention to detail culminates in wound channels that are large and consistently lethal—a testament to quick and clean kills. Additionally, these bullets provide accurate crimping capabilities while working harmoniously with the InterLock® ring system to ensure steadfast integrity between core and jacket throughout their journey from barrel exit to target impact.
If precision, reliability, and lethality define your criteria for ammunition selection, look no further than Hornady's traditional line—where advanced ballistic science meets practical application on every shot fired.
