Hornady InterLock Bullets 8mm (323 Diameter) 195 Grain Spire Point Box of 100

The Hornady InterLock 8mm (323 diameter) 195 grain spire point bullet is a proven choice for reloaders hunting medium to large game with 8mm rifle cartridges. Built on Hornady's traditional bullet platform, these rounds combine a time-tested design with controlled-expansion engineering to deliver reliable terminal performance at hunting distances. If you're developing handloads for an 8mm Mauser, .308 Norma Magnum, or similar caliber, this 195-grain profile offers a balance of weight and ballistic efficiency that works across a range of powders and velocities.

What sets the InterLock apart is its namesake internal feature—a raised ring embedded within the bullet's core that locks the jacket and core together during expansion. This design priority is straightforward: retain bullet mass and energy after impact, which translates to deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels. The spire point shape and inner grooves support controlled expansion even when velocity varies, whether you're hunting at moderate range or pushing farther out. A tapered jacket ensures the bullet expands predictably across different load velocities without the risk of separation that can plague older bullet designs.

These bullets ship in a box of 100, packed and ready to sort into your reloading press setup. Whether you're working up hunting loads or maintaining a consistent supply of quality components, Hornady InterLock bullets are a straightforward, no-nonsense reloading ingredient with a solid field reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 8mm rifles can I use these bullets in?

The 323 diameter is standard for most 8mm rifle cartridges, including the .308 Norma Magnum, 8mm Mauser, and similar calibers. Always verify that your specific rifle's chamber and twist rate are suitable for a 195-grain bullet before loading. If you're uncertain, consult your rifle's manual or a reloading reference.

Are these bullets suitable for long-range hunting?

The InterLock design is engineered to deliver controlled expansion across velocity ranges, which supports consistent performance at hunting distances. The spire point shape provides ballistic efficiency. Your results will depend on your specific rifle, load development, and shooting distance—always start conservative and work up safely.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 100 unprimed, ready-to-load bullets. You will need to pair them with brass, primers, and powder appropriate for your 8mm cartridge and rifle.

How do the inner grooves and InterLock feature work together?

The inner grooves weaken the jacket in a controlled way to promote consistent expansion, while the InterLock ring embedded in the core keeps the jacket and core locked as one unit during that expansion. Together, they aim to maximize energy retention and create deep, reliable wound channels.
