Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP

The Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP is a precision bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking controlled expansion, deep penetration, and flat-trajectory performance in modern .270 and 6.8mm rifles. Weighing 130 gr with a .277-inch diameter, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP features Hornady’s InterLock® core-to-jacket bonding system, which secures over 90% of its weight and delivers consistent terminal performance on both medium and large game.

This 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP utilizes a polymer-tip spire-point profile paired with a boat-tail base—dramatically improving its ballistic coefficient and supporting flat trajectory downrange. When loaded to velocities of 2,750–2,950 fps in cartridges such as .270 Winchester, 6.8mm SPC, or 6.8mm Remington SPC II, the bullet retains energy, minimizes wind drift, and delivers tight shot placement at ranges up to 500 yards.

The bonded-core structure in the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP mechanically locks the lead core to its jacket using Hornady’s mechanical InterLock® ring, preventing separation and ensuring deep, reliable penetration. Upon impact, the polymer tip aids uniform expansion while the bonded core maintains structural integrity—producing straight wound channels through muscle, bone, and dense cover.

Stabilization in widely available twist rates such as 1:9 and 1:10 make the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP suitable for bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine rifles. Its concentric jacket, polished ogive, and optimized bearing surface enhance seating consistency, promote accurate feeding, and support repeatable point-of-impact. Reloaders appreciate how the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP delivers dependable accuracy across varied powder and primer recipes.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP is sold strictly as a bullet component and must be paired with appropriate brass, powder, and primers. With rigorous quality control measures covering tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and bullet weight, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 130gr InterLock SP stands as an exceptional choice for hunters demanding bonded-core reliability, flat-shooting performance, and ethical terminal results in the 6.8mm/.270 caliber class.
