Hornady's traditional line of bullets feature exposed lead tips for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. Most have their pioneering secant ogive design - one of the most ballistically efficient profiles ever developed (see diagram to right). Most feature the exclusive InterLock design - a raised ring inside the jacket that is embedded in the bullet's core that keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion to retain mass and energy.
- Inner grooves strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket ensuring consistent controlled expansion even at long range
- Tapered jacket thickness is precisely controlled for expansion at all velocities
- One-Piece core does not separate like two-piece divided cores. The InterLock retains more mass and energy for deep penetration and large consistent wound channels that ensure quick clean kills
- Cannelure provides accurate and consistent crimping and also works with InterLock ring to ensure the core and jacket remain locked during expansion
- 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.
