The Hornady traditional line of bullets feature exposed lead tips for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. Most have our pioneering secant ogive design - one of the most ballistically efficient profiles ever developed (see diagram to right). Most feature their 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 - Jacket thickness is precisely controlled for expansion at all velocities. 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.
- 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.
