The Hornady InterLock 7mm .284 154 grain soft point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These component 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 sets these bullets apart from conventional soft points by preventing core-jacket separation during impact. While standard bullets may lose their core upon hitting bone or dense tissue, the InterLock design maintains bullet integrity for maximum weight retention. This translates to deeper penetration and more reliable terminal performance compared to basic cup-and-core bullets.
Key Features
- InterLock ring mechanically locks core to jacket for controlled expansion
- 154 grain weight optimized for .284 caliber rifles including 7mm-08 and 7mm Rem Mag
- Soft point design initiates reliable expansion at hunting velocities
- Tapered jacket thickness controls expansion rate and penetration depth
- Lead core provides consistent weight and balance
- Cannelure allows proper seating depth and crimping
- Bulk packaging of 100 bullets per box reduces cost per round
Field performance shows these bullets excel in medium game scenarios from whitetail deer to elk at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The 154 grain weight provides excellent sectional density for the .284 caliber, maintaining velocity downrange while delivering sufficient energy for clean kills. Weather conditions have minimal impact on terminal performance due to the robust jacket construction.
