Hornady InterLock 8mm .323 195gr Spire Point Bullets - 100ct

The Hornady 3236 InterLock 8mm .323 195 grain spire point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These precision-manufactured 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 sets these bullets apart from conventional cup-and-core designs by preventing jacket-core 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 locks into a cannelure on the lead core. This mechanical bond ensures controlled expansion and maximum weight retention, typically 70-90% compared to 40-60% for basic soft points.

Key Features

• InterLock ring mechanically bonds jacket to core preventing separation
• 195 grain weight optimized for 8mm Mauser, 8x57 JRS, and similar cartridges
• Spire point design provides flat trajectory and reliable expansion at hunting velocities
• Tapered jacket construction controls expansion from tip to base
• One-piece lead core eliminates air gaps for consistent performance
• Secant ogive profile reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient
• Cannelured shank allows proper bullet seating and crimping

Field performance demonstrates excellent terminal ballistics on deer, elk, and similar game at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The 195 grain weight provides sufficient momentum for deep penetration while the spire point initiates reliable expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps. These bullets maintain accuracy standards of 1.5-2 MOA in quality rifles with proper load development.
