Hornady InterLock 30 caliber 220 grain round nose bullets are a proven choice for reloaders who want reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. Built with Hornady's signature InterLock ring design—a reinforced band embedded within the bullet's core—these rounds lock the jacket and core together during expansion to maintain weight retention and energy delivery downrange. The 220 grain weight in 30 caliber delivers a heavy, slow-moving projectile that trades velocity for raw momentum, making it especially useful in lever guns, older bolt rifles, or any setup where velocity is moderate but penetration matters.
What sets these bullets apart is their design philosophy: they're engineered to expand in a controlled, predictable way rather than fragment aggressively. The exposed lead tip drives expansion, while the inner grooves in the jacket weaken the upper section strategically—this ensures that even shots taken at longer distances open up reliably. The tapered jacket is precisely engineered for velocity variation, so whether you're loading hot or mild, expansion stays consistent. Because the core is one solid piece rather than divided, the InterLock ring has more material to work with, meaning less mass loss and more energy transferred to the target.
The cannelure band serves double duty: it seats your crimp squarely and works with the InterLock ring to keep core and jacket bonded through the expansion cycle. For hunters and reloaders who've built their ammunition discipline around consistency and terminal performance, Hornady's 30 caliber InterLock is a trusted, field-proven round. You get 100 bullets per box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles and calibers does this bullet fit?
These are 30 caliber bullets sized for .30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester, .300 Magnum, lever-action rifles like the .30-30 Winchester, and other .30 caliber cartridges. Verify bore diameter and overall length compatibility with your specific rifle and reload data before assembly.
Why choose a 220 grain 30 cal bullet?
The 220 grain weight in 30 caliber is built for moderate to lower velocity setups that benefit from heavier projectiles—lever guns, older bolt rifles, and handloads where you're prioritizing momentum and penetration over flat trajectory. It's a traditional, proven weight for hunting medium to large game.
How does the InterLock ring keep the bullet together?
The InterLock is a raised ring embedded inside the bullet's core. During expansion, this ring locks the jacket and core as one unit, preventing the jacket from peeling away and the core from separating. This design retains more of the bullet's mass and energy through the target for deeper penetration.
What's included in the box?
Each box contains 100 loose Hornady InterLock bullets ready for your reloading press. Brass, powder, and primers are sold separately.
