Hornady InterLock 30 Cal .308 180gr Spire Point Bullets 100/Box

The Hornady InterLock 30 caliber .308 diameter 180 grain spire point 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 creates a raised ring inside the jacket that is embedded in the bullet's core during the swaging process. This mechanical bond prevents core-jacket separation that commonly occurs with cup-and-core bullets during impact. The spire point design provides a flat trajectory with reliable expansion at hunting velocities from 2,000 to 3,200 fps.

Key Features

• InterLock ring technology prevents core-jacket separation during expansion
• 180 grain weight optimized for .30-06, .308 Winchester, and .300 Winchester Magnum
• Spire point design delivers flat trajectory and controlled expansion
• Secant ogive profile reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient
• Tapered jacket thickness controls expansion from tip to base
• Cannelured shank provides consistent bullet seating and crimp retention
• 100 bullets per box with consistent weight tolerance of ±0.3 grains

Field testing shows these bullets maintain 60-70% weight retention while creating wound channels 1.5-2 times original diameter. The 180 grain weight provides sufficient sectional density for elk, moose, and black bear while remaining accurate in standard 1:10 twist barrels. Terminal performance remains consistent across impact velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps.
