Hornady 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP

The Hornady 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP is a heavyweight bullet component crafted for handloaders seeking deep penetration, controlled expansion, and premium accuracy in .35-caliber rifles. Weighing 200 gr with a .358-inch diameter, the 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP features a spitzer-point profile and Hornady’s InterLock® jacket-core bonding system, providing dependable terminal performance and over 90% weight retention.

The 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP employs a boat-tail design and optimized ogive for flat shooting and improved ballistic coefficient. When fired in cartridges such as .35 Remington Magnum or .35 Whelen at velocities around 2,400 fps, the bullet delivers consistent external ballistics and effective energy transfer at medium to long ranges.

Internally, the InterLock® ring in the 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP mechanically locks the lead core to the jacket, preventing separation and preserving structural integrity on impact. This construction ensures reliable deep penetration through heavy muscle and bone while avoiding fragmentation.

The spitzer-point geometry of the 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP supports smooth feeding and tight chamber alignment in bolt-action and lever-action rifles. Its tapered jacket and concentric form minimize fouling and enhance accuracy. Handloaders appreciate that the 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP maintains repeatable point-of-impact across multiple platforms.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP is sold as a bullet component and requires compatible brass, powder, and primers. With strict quality control over jacket concentricity, tip alignment, and core bonding, the 35 Cal 200gr InterLock SP‑RP stands out as a trusted choice for serious hunters demanding that balance of expansion and penetration in big-game applications.
