Hornady 30 Cal 180gr InterBond
The Hornady 30 Cal 180gr InterBond is a premium bonded-core bullet component engineered for handloaders seeking deep penetration, reliable expansion, and exceptional accuracy in .30-caliber hunting rifles. Weighing 180 gr with a .308-inch diameter, the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond features Hornady’s InterBond technology, which mechanically bonds the lead core to the jacket and ensures over 90% weight retention on impact.
Featuring a polymer-tip spire-point profile and optimized boat-tail, the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond achieves a high ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory. When loaded to velocities between 2,600 and 2,800 fps in cartridges such as .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester, the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond delivers consistent long-range performance and reliable terminal expansion without excessive fragmentation.
The bonded-core construction in the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond prevents jacket-core separation and protects against deformation on impact, ensuring the bullet penetrates deeply through heavy bone and thick muscle. Hunters report that the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond consistently creates clean wound channels and maintains its structural integrity shot after shot.
Designed for twist rates of 1:10 to 1:12, the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond stabilizes effectively in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine-fed rifles. Its precise ogive, concentric jacket, and quality-controlled tip seating support tight groupings and repeatable performance. Reloaders appreciate that the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond feeds reliably and performs consistently across varied hunting environments.
Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 30 Cal 180gr InterBond is sold as a bullet component only. Reloaders must provide suitable brass, powder, and primers. With stringent quality control over jacket bonding, tip alignment, and weight uniformity, the 30 Cal 180gr InterBond stands as a top-tier choice for hunters seeking dependable, accurate, and ethical performance in .30-caliber cartridges.
