Hornady InterLock Bullets: Precision and Power for Big Game Hunting
The Hornady InterLock Bullet in .30 caliber represents a pinnacle of ammunition engineering, designed with the serious hunter in mind. Known for its exceptional performance on big game, this bullet is crafted to deliver both accuracy and lethality.
Featuring a 150-grain weight and a diameter of .308 inches, this round offers an impressive ballistic coefficient of .186. This ensures that it maintains velocity over longer distances, providing hunters with the precision needed for those critical shots. The sectional density of .226 further contributes to its deep penetration capabilities.
Key to the bullet's effectiveness is the One-Piece Core design—integral in preventing separation during impact. Coupled with Hornady's patented InterLock® Ring technology, which securely embeds into the core, this bullet retains greater mass and energy upon expansion. These features guarantee controlled expansion while maintaining structural integrity.
The Tapered Jacket is engineered for precise thickness control across all velocities, ensuring reliable expansion under various conditions. Additionally, Inner Grooves strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket to facilitate consistent deformation upon impact.
A Cannelure provides accurate crimping consistency while working seamlessly with the InterLock® system to keep everything intact during flight and impact.
In essence, each aspect—from design elements like polymer tips that ensure flat trajectories at high speeds—to innovative locking mechanisms—contributes toward creating massive wound channels essential for achieving clean one-shot kills even against formidable game targets.
