Product Overview
Hornady American Whitetail 180-grain InterLock is a soft point .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for large game. The InterLock SP is a jacketed soft point with lead exposed at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,700 fps and has a G1 BC of .452.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 24.7 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,543 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero it drops 32.8 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's 180-grain Fusion has a bonded core and a G1 BC of .498 and drops 23.9 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Hornady's own Superformance 180-grain SST starts 120 fps faster on a G1 BC of .480 and off that zero it drops 21.9 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,824 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Less estimated recoil than Nosler's Trophy Grade 180-grain Partition and Hornady's Superformance 180-grain SST
- Still moving 1,965 fps at 400 yards
- The lowest G1 BC of the .30-06 180-grain loads compared
- A lead core with lead exposed at the nose, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Federal's 180-grain Trophy Copper is the copper bullet at this weight
- Drops 2.8 inches more at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero than Hornady's own Superformance 180-grain SST
