The Hornady InterLock 405 caliber rifle bullets deliver serious stopping power for handloaders pursuing large game at distance or in brush. These 300-grain soft-point rounds combine proven bullet engineering with the reliability you need when a single shot has to count. Whether you're loading for a .405 Winchester or another cartridge in this caliber, InterLock bullets give you the confidence that comes from using ammunition components trusted by hunters across North America.
What sets InterLock bullets apart is Hornady's trademarked InterLock ring system—a mechanical lock that binds the core and jacket together during expansion. This design keeps the bullet from shedding material on impact, preserving weight and energy transfer through even the heaviest hides and bone. The result is deeper penetration, larger wound channels, and more reliable kills on elk, moose, and other trophy game where bullet performance directly affects your hunt's outcome.
These are serious reloading components for serious hunters. The one-piece core-and-jacket construction resists separation, while the soft-point profile allows controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. You get 50 bullets per box—enough to load a hunting season's worth of ammo or fine-tune your loads at the range. If you're handloading for big-game hunting and demand bullets that expand reliably while holding together, InterLock rounds deserve a hard look.
