Product Description
Hornady InterLock projectiles are a traditional line of hunting bullets, featuring exposed lead tips for controlled expansion and reliable terminal performance. These .303 projectiles, with a .312" diameter, are engineered for hunters seeking consistent results. Most of these projectiles incorporate the pioneering secant ogive design, one of the most ballistically efficient profiles ever developed. A key feature is the exclusive Hornady InterLock design, which includes a raised ring inside the jacket embedded in the bullet's core. This ensures the core and jacket remain locked together during expansion, retaining mass and energy for deep penetration and consistent performance in the field.
| Inner Grooves: | Strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket, ensuring consistent, controlled expansion, even at long range. |
| Tapered Jacket: | Jacket thickness is precisely controlled for expansion at all velocities. |
| One-Piece Core: | Unlike two-piece divided cores, the Hornady InterLock core does not separate. This design retains more mass and energy for deep penetration and large, consistent wound channels, promoting ethical harvesting. |
| Cannelure: | Provides accurate and consistent crimping, working in conjunction with the InterLock ring to ensure the core and jacket remain locked during expansion. |
| InterLock Ring: | The raised InterLock ring is embedded in the bullet's core, ensuring the core and jacket are locked in one piece during expansion to retain mass and energy. |
Pioneered by Hornady for use in hunting bullets, the secant ogive design is a breakthrough in ballistic engineering. This technology is now utilised in projectiles for a wide range of shooting disciplines, from match competition to varmint hunting. The secant ogive is a geometrically developed design that creates the most ballistically efficient profile, while retaining the optimum bearing surface. This combination of a slender point and increased bearing surface results in lower drag, enhanced stability, flatter trajectories, and exceptional accuracy, making these .312 projectiles a top choice for precision.
