Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP

The Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP is a precision-engineered bullet component crafted for handloaders seeking controlled expansion, deep penetration, and consistent accuracy in modern .270 and 6.8mm-caliber rifles. Weighing 140 gr with a .277‑inch diameter, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP features Hornady’s proven InterLock® core-to-jacket bonding system, providing over 90% weight retention and reliable terminal performance on medium and large game.

Featuring a polymer-tipped spire-point profile combined with a boat-tail base, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP delivers a high ballistic coefficient and a flat trajectory. Loaded to velocities between 2,700 and 2,900 fps in cartridges like .270 Winchester, 6.8mm SPC, or 6.8mm Remington SPC II, the bullet excels in downrange energy retention, reduced wind drift, and precise shot placement.

The bonded-core construction in the 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket using Hornady’s InterLock® ring, ensuring no jacket-core separation upon impact. This makes the bullet excel through heavy muscle, bone, and dense tissue—creating clean wound channels and ethical terminal results under real-world hunting conditions.

Stabilizing effectively in barrels with 1:9 to 1:10 twist rates, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP feeds reliably in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine rifles. Its concentric jacket, polished ogive, and optimized bearing surface support repeatable point-of-impact and tight groupings. Reloaders value the 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP for smooth cycling and consistent accuracy across various powder and primer combinations.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP is sold as a bullet component only and requires compatible brass, powder, and primers. With rigorous quality control over tip alignment, jacket thickness, and weight uniformity, the 270 Cal 6.8mm 140gr InterLock BTSP stands as a top-tier choice for hunters demanding bonded-core durability, flat shooting, and dependable terminal performance in the .270/6.8mm caliber category.
