Hornady 8mm 195gr InterLock SP

The Hornady 8mm 195gr InterLock SP is a premium bullet component designed for handloaders seeking balanced expansion, deep penetration, and precision accuracy in classic .323-caliber rifles. Weighing 195 gr with a .323-inch diameter, the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP features Hornady’s InterLock® core-to-jacket bonding system—providing over 90% weight retention on impact and reliable terminal performance on medium and large game.

Featuring a polymer-tipped spire-point profile and boat-tail base, the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP delivers an elevated ballistic coefficient and a flatter trajectory. When driven at velocities between 2,600 and 2,800 fps in cartridges such as 8mm Mauser, .325 WSM, or 8mm Remington Magnum, the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP offers consistent downrange velocity, reduced wind drift, and accurate shot placement across varied ranges.

Internally, the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP uses Hornady’s core-locking ring to mechanically bond the lead core to the copper jacket, ensuring structural integrity and preventing separation during impact. Hunters report that the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP creates clean wound channels and reliable expansion even through heavy muscle and bone, making it well-suited for ethical harvests.

Stabilizing well in barrels with twist rates from 1:10 to 1:12, the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP feeds smoothly in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine-fed rifles. Its concentric jacket, precision ogive, and consistent bearing surface support tight groupings and repeatable point-of-impact. Reloaders appreciate the 8mm 195gr InterLock SP for dependable feeding, seating consistency, and cycling across diverse loads.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska plant, the Hornady 8mm 195gr InterLock SP is sold as a bullet component only and requires compatible brass, powder, and primers. With rigorous quality control on tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and bullet weight uniformity, each 8mm 195gr InterLock SP offers handloaders a trusted, accurate, and terminally reliable bullet for .323-caliber hunting applications.
