Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP

The Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP is a rugged, flat-point bullet component engineered for use in tubular magazine rifles and lever-action platforms where safety and reliable feeding are paramount. With a bullet diameter of .308″, this projectile is optimized for classic cartridges like the 30-30 Winchester, offering reliable terminal performance, deep penetration, and high weight retention for hunting medium-sized game.

This 170gr bullet features Hornady’s proven InterLock design, which uses a raised inner ring to mechanically lock the jacket to the core. Combined with a tapered jacket and exposed lead flat point, this construction ensures controlled expansion and solid energy transfer even at the moderate velocities typical of traditional lever-action loads. The bullet expands reliably across a wide range of impact velocities, retaining mass and structure through soft tissue and bone.

The flat nose profile ensures safe use in tubular magazines by preventing primer detonation from stacked cartridges, while also providing strong impact performance on game such as whitetail deer, hogs, and black bear. Hornady’s high standards in jacket concentricity and core uniformity ensure consistent accuracy and tight grouping from platforms often used in brush or close-quarters hunting scenarios.

Ideal for reloaders seeking a dependable hunting bullet for short- to medium-range engagements, the Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP balances expansion, penetration, and trajectory for ethical, one-shot kills. Its durable design and InterLock construction support repeatable performance in field conditions and are well-suited to both traditional and modern lever-action rifles chambered in .30-30 Winchester and similar cartridges.

Hornady 30 Cal 170gr InterLock FP bullets offer the classic performance and reliability demanded by hunters who rely on their lever-action rifles. With excellent terminal behavior, safe tube-magazine compatibility, and field-proven effectiveness, this bullet remains a trusted option for big woods hunting and brush country pursuit.
