Hornady Interlock bullets?

[Bscman]

Good bullets. I'd probably opt for interbonds for hunting, but you can't beat the interlocks for the price. If you're keeping it to deer and smaller, go for it.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Hornady's SST's...extremely good ballistic coefficients compared to traditional bullet designs....very comprable to the much more expensive Amax...but for less $$$. If you want to extend your shooting ranges give 'em a shot.

I agree with three_oh_eight, though! The cannelure is definitely in the wrong spot....huge jump to the lands on my .270...but oddly enough still one of the best shooting bullet I've found.

Ditto on the cannelure.  I used to shoot a lot of Hornadys with a crimp at the cannelure.  They did fine, but not as well as when I load them with a reasonable jump to the lands.  The bullet companies need to put the cannelure at a spot that's safe for the standard factory rifle.

Also agree on Hornady's SSTs.  Only used on one animal--antelope--but it flattened him.  Devastating one-shot wound channel.

A flatbase Interlock is a very effective bullet on game.  And, less than 300 yards, don't be scared away from their roundnose bullets.

I have had a lot of experience with this bullet, in quite a few calibers. I have killed a bunch of big game with interlocks. Never had a problem. They shoot well for me and they do a great job on game. My family has put many a muley/whitetail down with the 100gr interlock from a .243, we use IMR-4350. Work up a load you like, the bullet will do the job. You just got to hit'em where they live, and it will be over soon. I  put the 30-06 and the 150 interlocks on the back burner last year cause I am having fun with the 140 Accubonds from my .270win.

With any cup and core bullet I've found that if you start them out under 3000 fps they usually perform very well.  I like to go heavy for the cal. when shooting them, 180-220gr in 30 cal, 175gr in 7mm, 150gr in 270cal, 117gr in 257cal and 100-105gr in 243 cal.  I'm not a long range shooter and tend to prefer round nose bullets when hunting big game and Hornady has proven itself to me over the years.

couple bear with the 139 and 162 interlocks, some muleys, and a couple blacktail.  Never had a problem.  Still use them in my non-magnums in 7mm.
