Hornady 30 Cal 165gr InterLock BTSP (Bulk / OEM)

Hornady 30 Cal 165gr InterLock BTSP

The Hornady 30 Cal 165gr InterLock BTSP is a premium hunting bullet designed for shooters who demand deep penetration, high retained weight, and proven terminal performance. Ideal for big game applications, this bullet blends Hornady’s signature accuracy with their InterLock^® core-locking design to create a reliable projectile capable of delivering clean, ethical kills on medium to large game.

The exposed lead tip initiates controlled expansion on impact, while the sleek secant ogive profile improves ballistic performance and ensures consistent trajectory over extended distances. Whether you’re chambered in .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, or .300 Win Mag, this 165gr boattail soft point is optimized to perform across a wide range of hunting cartridges and conditions.

At the heart of the design is Hornady’s InterLock^® ring—a raised inner ring that locks the lead core and copper jacket together. This mechanical bond prevents jacket-core separation during expansion, allowing the bullet to penetrate deeply and transfer more energy to the target. The swaged, one-piece lead core contributes to mass retention and terminal uniformity, even at high velocities.

Internal grooves strategically weaken the upper jacket, guiding controlled expansion while preventing over-fragmentation. The jacket itself is tapered and manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure optimal expansion across a variety of velocities. A cannelure is applied before the final forming process, providing a solid crimp point and helping maintain cartridge integrity under recoil or rough field handling.

For reloaders seeking a trusted hunting bullet in quantity, the Hornady 30 Cal 165gr InterLock BTSP is also available in bulk bullets packaging—delivering consistent performance shot after shot without breaking the bank.

INNER GROOVES

Strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket, ensuring consistent, controlled expansion, even at long range.

TAPERED JACKET

Jacket thickness is precisely controlled for expansion at all velocities.

ONE-PIECE CORE

Does not separate like two-piece divided cores. The InterLock^® retains more mass and energy for deep penetration and large, consistent wound channels that ensure quick, clean kills.

CANNELURE

Provides accurate and consistent crimping and works with the InterLock^® ring to ensure the core and jacket remain locked during expansion.

INTERLOCK^® RING

The raised InterLock^® ring is embedded in the bullet’s core, ensuring the core and jacket are locked in one piece during expansion to retain mass and energy.
