Hornady InterLock .458 Cal 300gr Hollow Point Bullets - 50/Box

The Hornady InterLock .458 caliber 300-grain hollow point bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for large game hunting applications. These premium 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 system prevents core-jacket separation that commonly occurs with standard cup-and-core bullets during high-velocity impact. This mechanical bonding maintains bullet integrity through heavy bone and muscle tissue, ensuring consistent weight retention above 85%. The tapered jacket design controls expansion rates while the hollow point cavity initiates reliable mushrooming at velocities as low as 1,800 fps.

Key Features

• InterLock ring mechanically bonds core to jacket for controlled expansion
• 300-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration
• Hollow point design ensures reliable expansion across velocity ranges
• Tapered jacket thickness optimizes expansion and weight retention
• Lead core precisely swaged for consistent concentricity and accuracy
• Cannelured design allows proper crimping for consistent powder charges
• 50 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions

Field performance demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 inch groups at 100 yards when loaded to proper specifications in quality rifles. The 300-grain weight maintains energy and trajectory for shots beyond 200 yards on large game including elk, moose, and dangerous game applications. Expansion typically achieves 1.5x original diameter while retaining 85-90% of original weight for maximum terminal effectiveness.
