Hornady InterLock 30 caliber 180-grain soft-point boat-tail rifle bullets are a proven choice for reloaders hunting medium to large game or shooting at distance. These bullets combine a classic design with Hornady's legendary InterLock technology—a mechanical ring embedded in the core that locks the jacket and core together during expansion, preserving bullet mass and energy for deeper penetration and more reliable terminal performance than conventional bullets that shed jackets or lose core integrity.
The 180-grain weight in .30 caliber is a versatile offering for cartridges like the .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and similar magnum rounds. The boat-tail profile improves ballistic coefficient and downrange velocity retention, making these bullets capable of accurate fire at extended range. The exposed lead tip initiates controlled expansion on impact, while the tapered jacket and inner grooves work together to ensure consistent opening across a wide velocity range—whether you're hunting at close range or stretching out to 300 yards and beyond. A cannelure groove accommodates crimping and reinforces the InterLock junction for added security during loading and firing.
Whether you're developing a load for a hunting rifle or working up precision ammunition for the range, the InterLock's one-piece core design is built to hold together through bone and muscle, delivering the kind of clean, ethical kills that hunters demand. Each box contains 100 bullets, enough for serious handloaders building a season's worth of ammunition or fine-tuning load recipes. Hornady's consistent quality and attention to jacket thickness and core composition mean minimal run-to-run variation—a real advantage when chasing sub-half-MOA groups.

| Grain Weight | 180 grains |
| Bullet Style | Soft Point Boat Tail (SPBT) |
| Quantity Per Box | 100 bullets |
| Core Type | One-piece |

The .30 caliber 180-grain bullet works in cartridges designed for .30 cal projectiles, including the .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, and similar .30 caliber rifle rounds. Always verify your specific rifle's caliber and consult load data from Hornady or other trusted reloading sources before assembling ammunition.
The InterLock ring locks the jacket and core together during expansion, preventing jacket/core separation that can reduce penetration. This design retains bullet mass and energy, producing deeper penetration and larger, more consistent wound channels than conventional soft-points—ideal for ethical, clean kills on deer, elk, and similar game at typical hunting ranges.
Yes. The boat-tail profile and 180-grain weight provide good ballistic efficiency and velocity retention downrange. The controlled expansion design is engineered to work across a wide velocity range, making these bullets capable of consistent performance at extended distances when paired with appropriate hunting cartridges and proper load development.
Each box contains 100 Hornady InterLock bullets, ready for handloading into your preferred cartridge cases.
