Hornady InterLock 7.62x39mm 123gr Soft Point Bullets - 100ct

The Hornady InterLock 7.62x39mm bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for hunting medium game. These 123-grain soft point projectiles 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 standard soft point bullets at impact velocities above 2,400 fps. This mechanical bond ensures the bullet retains 70-80% of its original weight while expanding to nearly twice its diameter. Unlike conventional soft points that may fragment or lose their cores, InterLock bullets maintain structural integrity through bone and tissue.

Key Features

• InterLock ring mechanically bonds core to jacket for controlled expansion
• 123-grain weight optimized for 7.62x39mm cartridge ballistics
• Soft point design initiates expansion on impact with game
• Lead core construction provides consistent weight retention
• Tapered jacket design controls expansion rate and penetration depth
• Cannelure groove allows proper bullet seating and crimp
• 100 bullets per box for extended reloading sessions

These bullets perform consistently across velocity ranges from 2,100 to 2,800 fps, making them suitable for various powder charges and barrel lengths. The 123-grain weight stabilizes well in standard 1:10 twist barrels found in most 7.62x39mm rifles. Hunters report reliable performance on deer-sized game at ranges from 50 to 300 yards, with the soft point design providing quick, humane kills.
