Hornady Interlock experiences

[timbernomad]

Looking for experience regarding Interlock bullets, particularly in 6mm/.243. What minimum velocities are you seeing for sufficient expansion? I’m asking because someone gave me a couple boxes of 100gr 6mm BTSP bullets.

Hornady says 1750 fps, which sounds about right. They open about as fast as other traditional designs. We considered the Interlocks about like a Nosler Ballistic tip or ordinary bullet out of factory ammo.

I killed a whitetail buck with one last year using my .243. High lung shot. 60 yards. DRT.

I would trust them at or above 1800 GPS.

Used them in my 270 since forever. Great bullet.
