Internally, the bonded-core construction in the 338 Cal 250gr InterLock RN mechanically locks the lead core to the jacket using Hornady’s InterLock® ring.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 338 Cal 250gr InterLock RN is sold as a bullet component only and requires compatible brass, primers, and powder. With rigorous production quality controls focused on tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and weight uniformity, the 338 Cal 250gr InterLock RN stands as a dependable bonded-core bullet option for ethical and effective big-game hunting in .338-caliber platforms.
