Hornady InterLock 30 Caliber (.308) 180 Grain RN Bullets - Box of 100

Hornady InterLock 30 caliber (.308) 180 grain RN bullets deliver the controlled expansion and penetration serious reloaders demand for hunting and long-range shooting. Built on Hornady's time-tested InterLock design, these bullets are engineered to stay together when it counts—keeping core and jacket locked as one through impact and expansion for deeper penetration, retained weight, and consistent performance downrange.

The 180 grain round nose profile is a classic choice for medium to large game hunting and target work. The secant ogive design combines ballistic efficiency with predictable flight, while the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on contact. What sets InterLock bullets apart is the proprietary raised ring embedded in the core itself; it grips the jacket from the inside, preventing separation during expansion. That means more mass retained, more energy transferred, and larger, more consistent wound channels—the kind of reliable terminal performance that matters when you're counting on a clean, ethical kill.

Every detail is tuned for reloader control. Inner grooves strategically weaken the jacket's upper section to guarantee consistent expansion even at distance. The tapered jacket is precision-engineered so expansion happens reliably whether you're pushing modest or magnum velocities. A cannelure groove locks in your crimp and works in concert with the InterLock ring to ensure the bullet stays together. Because these are component bullets, you're loading to your exact specifications—powder charge, velocity, and rifle—giving you the consistency and performance factory ammunition can't match.

Each box contains 100 bullets, enough for serious load development, hunting season prep, or stocking your reloading bench. If you're handloading for .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, or other .308 cartridges and you want bullets that expand reliably while holding together for deep, effective penetration, InterLock rounds are a trusted foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges can I load these .308 180 grain bullets in?

These 30 caliber bullets are designed for .308-diameter cartridge chambers, including .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and other .308-based calibers. Always verify bore diameter and consult load data specific to your exact cartridge and rifle before reloading.

Why do InterLock bullets stay together better than standard bullets?

Hornady's InterLock design features a raised ring embedded directly in the bullet's lead core. During expansion, this ring locks the jacket to the core, preventing separation and keeping the bullet as one piece. That retained mass translates to deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting, or just target shooting?

InterLock bullets are engineered specifically for hunting applications where controlled expansion and deep penetration matter. The 180 grain weight in .308 is a proven choice for medium to large game. Their consistent performance across velocities also makes them reliable for long-range hunting or target work.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 100 unprimed, loaded component bullets. You will need to provide your own brass cases, primers, and powder to complete reloading.
