Hornady InterLock 6.5mm .264 160gr Round Nose Bullets - 100ct

The Hornady InterLock 6.5mm .264 160 grain round nose bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These bullets feature Hornady's proven InterLock ring technology that mechanically locks the core and jacket together during expansion.

What Makes This Different

The InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation that commonly occurs with conventional bullets during impact. This mechanical bond ensures the bullet retains 75-85% of its original weight while expanding to nearly twice its diameter. The round nose profile provides reliable feeding in lever-action rifles and offers excellent penetration through brush and bone.

Key Features

• InterLock ring mechanically locks core to jacket preventing separation
• 160 grain weight optimized for 6.5mm cartridges like 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser
• Round nose design feeds reliably in lever-action and straight-pull rifles
• Lead core with tapered jacket for controlled expansion
• Cannelure provides consistent bullet seating depth and crimp retention
• Diameter: .264 inches with tight manufacturing tolerances
• Bulk packaging: 100 bullets per box, 15 boxes per case (1,500 total)

Field performance shows these bullets expanding reliably at velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps across various 6.5mm cartridges. The 160 grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on deer, elk, and similar-sized game. Round nose bullets excel in thick cover where pointed bullets might deflect, making them ideal for timber hunting and brush country applications.
