Hornady 30 Cal. .308 180GR InterLock BTSP Bullets

Our 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 our 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.

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.

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.
