The Hornady InterLock 8mm 170 grain RN bullets (.323 diameter) deliver the controlled expansion and weight retention that serious reloaders demand when preparing ammunition for medium to large game. Built on Hornady's proven bullet platform, these .323 projectiles feature the signature InterLock ring system—a mechanical lock between core and jacket that keeps the bullet together during expansion, producing deeper penetration and more consistent energy transfer in the field.
Each bullet combines a one-piece core and jacket construction with Hornady's InterLock design, creating a bullet that expands predictably while maintaining structural integrity through bone and muscle. The 170 grain weight in .323 diameter sits in the practical sweet spot for 8mm rifle cartridges, balancing sectional density with velocity potential across common hunting loads. Whether you're hand-loading for a Mauser, a modern 8x57 IS, or a similar chambering, these round-nose bullets deliver the terminal performance hunters have relied on for decades.
Packaged in convenient boxes of 100, these bullets are ready to load into your favorite 8mm brass. Hornady's quality control and consistent construction make the reloading process straightforward, and the proven InterLock technology takes the guesswork out of bullet performance in the field. For hunters who still trust the 8mm cartridge and want bullets engineered for reliable expansion and maximum game effectiveness, these are a time-tested choice.

| Bullet Type | InterLock Round Nose |
| Caliber/Diameter | .323 (8mm) |

| Quantity per Box | 100 |
The .323 diameter and round-nose profile make these bullets suitable for traditional 8mm cartridges including 8x57 IS, 8x57 JS, and other 8mm rifle chamberings. Always verify bullet diameter and rifle compatibility before loading.
The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core to the jacket, preventing separation during expansion. This keeps the bullet intact through game, maximizing penetration and wound channel effectiveness while maintaining controlled expansion for a clean kill.
Yes. Hornady's consistent construction and reliable design make these bullets straightforward to reload. As always, follow published load data for your specific cartridge and rifle when developing loads.
The round-nose design was traditional for 8mm hunting rifles and remains practical for lever-action and magazine-fed rifles where it feeds reliably and helps prevent detonation in tubular magazines.
