Specifically designed for whitetail deer, this cartridge combines Hornady’s InterLock soft-point bullet with optimized propellants and high-quality components for unmatched consistency in the field.
The InterLock bullet features a traditional lead core mechanically locked to the jacket, ensuring the bullet stays intact for controlled expansion and superior weight retention. This results in deep, straight-line penetration and dependable knockdown power — ideal for deer and medium-sized game.
