The Hornady Custom 303 British 150gr InterLock Spire Point ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for vintage military rifles and modern sporting applications. This premium hunting ammunition features Hornady's proven InterLock bullet technology, ensuring reliable expansion and weight retention on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
Hornady's InterLock bullet construction sets this ammunition apart from standard military surplus rounds. The raised InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion for deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels. Unlike basic soft point bullets, the spire point design maintains velocity downrange while the secant ogive profile improves ballistic coefficient by 15-20% over round nose alternatives.
Key Features
- 150-grain InterLock Spire Point bullet with mechanical core-jacket lock
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 2460 fps muzzle velocity
- Premium brass cases with precise headstamp and flash hole uniformity
- Boxer primers for reliable ignition in all weather conditions
- Compatible with Lee-Enfield, Savage 99, and other 303 British rifles
- Sectional density of .226 for excellent penetration on deer-sized game
- Factory-fresh ammunition with consistent powder charges and seating depth
This load performs exceptionally well for hunting whitetail deer, black bear, and similar-sized game at ranges up to 300 yards. The 150-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention, making it suitable for both open country and dense timber hunting scenarios. The spire point design cuts through brush better than hollow points while maintaining expansion reliability on impact.
