Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP
The Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP is a reliable and time-tested hunting bullet designed for deep penetration and devastating terminal performance. Built specifically for lever-action rifles and tubular magazine systems, this flat point soft point projectile is perfect for traditional .30-30 Winchester loads and other medium-velocity cartridges. It combines Hornady’s legendary accuracy with their InterLock® design for weight retention and optimal energy transfer on impact.
Featuring an exposed lead tip, the 170gr InterLock FP initiates expansion quickly and reliably, making it highly effective on medium-sized game like deer and hogs. Its flat point design ensures safe loading in tubular magazines while enhancing terminal performance at moderate hunting distances. The bullet’s secant ogive profile, while subtle in this application, still contributes to in-flight stability and retained velocity downrange.
What sets this bullet apart is the InterLock® ring—a raised, embedded ring inside the jacket that locks the core and jacket together during expansion. This mechanical bond helps maintain bullet integrity, ensuring the projectile penetrates deeply without jacket separation. The swaged one-piece lead core and tapered jacket design further improve expansion control and overall consistency.
Hornady incorporates internal grooves that pre-stress the jacket, helping guide expansion in a controlled and symmetrical manner. The cannelure is applied before final shaping, allowing for secure and consistent crimping—critical for reliable performance in lever guns. Whether you’re hunting in thick timber or wide-open plains, this bullet is built to deliver dependable results with every shot.
Available in bulk bullets packaging, the Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP is an ideal choice for high-volume hunters and reloaders who value classic design, trusted performance, and excellent terminal effect.
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.
