Hornady 6.5mm 140gr InterLock SP

The Hornady 6.5mm 140gr InterLock SP is a time-tested hunting bullet trusted by reloaders and shooters for its proven accuracy and consistent terminal performance. Built for big game hunting and long-range accuracy, this soft point projectile incorporates Hornady’s proprietary InterLock^® design, which mechanically locks the core and jacket together during expansion. This results in deep penetration, high weight retention, and clean, ethical kills across a broad spectrum of hunting scenarios.

The InterLock SP features an exposed lead tip for reliable expansion and a secant ogive profile for excellent aerodynamics. This helps the bullet maintain velocity over long distances while delivering improved trajectory and energy transfer. The secant ogive design also enhances in-flight stability, making it ideal for modern 6.5mm cartridges such as the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55 Swedish, and .260 Remington.

Hornady’s AMP jacket and swaged lead core work in tandem to create a one-piece bullet that resists core-jacket separation even under heavy impact. Internal grooves near the bullet tip initiate expansion at lower velocities, while the precisely controlled tapered jacket ensures reliable mushrooming at both short and extended ranges. The cannelure is added before the final forming process to allow secure and consistent crimping, which supports overall cartridge integrity during recoil and field use.

Whether you’re dialing in a new hunting load or simply stocking up with bulk bullets, the Hornady 6.5mm 140gr InterLock SP offers a perfect balance of affordability and performance. It’s a trusted option for hunters looking for repeatable results from a soft point bullet that can go the distance.

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.
