Hornady InterLock Bullets .30 cal .308" 180 gr SP 100/ct

Hornady InterLock Bullets .30 caliber .308" 180 grain soft point (100 count) are purpose-built for centerfire rifle reloading and big game hunting. These projectiles combine proven construction with controlled expansion characteristics that deliver consistent performance across a wide range of hunting scenarios and distances. The 180-grain weight in .30 caliber delivers a ballistic balance suited to medium and larger game applications where retained velocity and deep penetration matter.

The signature feature of InterLock bullets is the patented InterLock ring system, which mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket during expansion. This design prevents core-jacket separation—a failure mode that undermines accuracy and energy transfer in marginal hits or at extended distances. The polymer tip initiates reliable expansion while maintaining a streamlined profile for flatter trajectories. Weight retention typically exceeds 90%, meaning the bullet retains most of its mass through the animal, translating to deeper wound channels and more predictable energy delivery compared to designs prone to fragmentation.

Reloaders and hunters working with .308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, or other .30 caliber magnum cartridges will find the 180-grain InterLock suitable for deer, elk, and similar game at moderate to long range. The 100-count box packaging is standard for handloaders who prioritize consistency in their ammunition assembly. Each bullet's dimensional consistency supports tight shot grouping, particularly important when precision reloading for hunting rifles where group size directly influences ethical shot placement.
