Hornady InterLock 30 Cal 165 Grain Spire Point Boat Tail bullets deliver the kind of terminal performance serious reloaders and hunters expect from a proven design. The InterLock line has earned its reputation through controlled expansion and deep penetration—two ballistic qualities that matter when every shot counts. Whether you're loading for a .308 Winchester, .30-06, or another common 30-caliber cartridge, these 165-grain projectiles give you a versatile weight that balances velocity and impact energy across typical hunting ranges.
The standout feature here is Hornady's InterLock ring—a raised band embedded directly into the bullet's lead core that physically locks the jacket and core together during expansion. This means less fragmentation, more weight retention, and deeper, more consistent wound channels. Paired with a one-piece core design, that core won't separate like cheaper divided-core designs. The tapered jacket is precision-controlled for reliable expansion whether you're launching these at 2,800 fps or holding back on a subsonic load. Inner grooves strategically weaken the jacket's upper section to ensure expansion is consistent even at distance, while the cannelure gives you a crimping groove and reinforces the bond between jacket and core.
The spire point boat tail profile is one of Hornady's classic secant ogive designs—a shape that's been proven ballistically efficient for decades. You get 100 bullets per box, so whether you're developing loads for a new rifle or stocking up for the season, there's room to work up and validate your handload. These are quality components for reloaders who care about what goes downrange.
| Caliber | 30 Cal |
| Weight | 165 Grain |
| Style | Spire Point Boat Tail |
| Count | 100 Bullets |
| Line | Hornady InterLock |
The 165-grain weight is a versatile hunting bullet suitable for common 30-caliber rifle cartridges like the .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and similar rounds. Always verify magazine length, cartridge specifications, and safe loading data before assembling any handload.
The InterLock ring is mechanically embedded into the lead core itself, not just the jacket. This physical locking mechanism prevents the core and jacket from separating during expansion, which means better weight retention, deeper penetration, and more consistent wound channels compared to designs without this feature.
Yes. The inner grooves in the jacket and the boat tail profile are specifically designed to support controlled expansion even at extended ranges where velocity has dropped. That said, always verify impact velocity and use appropriate ballistic data for your specific load and distance.
This box contains 100 bullets only. You'll need to reference official Hornady reloading manuals, their website, or other published load data from a reputable source to develop safe handloads for your specific rifle and cartridge combination.
