Hornady InterLock 30 Cal 150 Grain SPBT Bullets (Box of 100)

Hornady InterLock 30 caliber 150 grain SPBT bullets are a time-tested choice for reloaders building rifle ammunition for hunting and target shooting. The 150 grain weight in .30 caliber strikes a practical balance—heavy enough to carry downrange energy and momentum, light enough to maintain decent velocity from standard .30-06 and .308 Winchester loads. These bullets ship 100 per box, giving you a full reloading batch without split packaging.

What sets InterLock bullets apart is the engineering you don't see: a mechanical ring embedded inside the jacket that locks the core and jacket together during impact. This design prevents core-jacket separation, which means more of the bullet's mass stays intact through the animal, creating deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels. That one-piece core integrity matters when you're hunting at distance or shooting through heavy cover. The exposed lead tip provides the expansion behavior hunters expect, while the tapered jacket is calibrated to open reliably across a velocity range—from close shots to extended-range scenarios.

The ogive profile, cannelure for secure crimping, and inner jacket grooves work together to ensure controlled, repeatable expansion. If you're handloading for .30-06, .308 Winchester, .30-30, or similar calibers, these 150 grain projectiles offer a straightforward, proven platform to build accurate, ethical hunting ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and cartridges use .30 caliber 150 grain bullets?

The .30 caliber 150 grain weight works across a wide range of rifle cartridges, including .30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester, .300 Savage, .30-30 Winchester, and magnum cartridges like .300 Win Mag and .300 RUM. Always verify your specific cartridge's load data before reloading to ensure safe, accurate ammunition.

What's the difference between InterLock bullets and standard soft point bullets?

The InterLock ring mechanically locks the bullet's core to the jacket, preventing separation during expansion. Standard soft point bullets rely on friction alone to keep the core and jacket together. The InterLock design retains more mass, which translates to deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels.

Can I use these bullets for long-range hunting?

Yes. The tapered jacket and controlled expansion design are engineered to perform reliably at extended range. The boat-tail profile also improves ballistic coefficient, helping maintain velocity and energy downrange.

What comes in the box?

Each box contains 100 Hornady InterLock bullets ready for reloading.
