Hornady InterLock 8mm .323 170gr RN Bullets - 100ct Box

The Hornady 3235 InterLock 8mm .323 170 grain round nose bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These proven projectiles feature Hornady's signature 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 cup-and-core designs by preventing core-jacket separation during impact. While standard bullets can fragment or lose their cores, the InterLock system maintains bullet integrity through a raised ring inside the jacket that mechanically locks with the lead core. This design ensures 65-85% weight retention and controlled expansion across a wide velocity range from 1,800 to 3,000 fps.

Key Features

• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation for consistent performance
• 170 grain round nose profile optimized for lever-action rifles
• Tapered jacket design promotes controlled expansion at hunting velocities
• Lead core precisely swaged for uniform density and balance
• Round nose shape feeds reliably in tubular magazines
• Diameter: .323 inches for 8mm Mauser and similar cartridges
• Sectional density of .232 for excellent penetration

These bullets excel in hunting scenarios where deep penetration matters most. The 170 grain weight provides sufficient momentum for elk, moose, and large deer at typical hunting ranges. The round nose profile makes them ideal for lever-action rifles with tubular magazines, while the controlled expansion characteristics work effectively in bolt-action rifles as well. Weather conditions don't affect performance, as the copper-plated jacket resists corrosion during extended storage.
