Product Overview
Weatherby's Select 165-grain InterLock trades bullet weight for speed. It leaves the muzzle at 3,390 fps, faster than any 180-grain load in the caliber, and no load in the caliber kicks less. The InterLock is Hornady's cup-and-core soft point, with a ring inside the jacket that locks the lead core in place, rated at a G1 BC of .387.
Compared with Nosler's Trophy Grade 180-grain AccuBond, the 165 starts 215 fps faster and drops a little less, but it gives up more to the wind. Zeroed at 200 yards, the 165 drops about 32 inches at 500 and the AccuBond about 33. At 500 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the 165 about 19 inches sideways and the AccuBond about 15. The AccuBond also carries 2,073 ft-lbs at 500 yards against 1,768 for the 165, and it kicks about 10 percent harder in the same rifle. Compared with Weatherby's Select Plus 180-grain AccuBond, which loads the same bonded bullet as the Nosler, the 165 starts 140 fps faster and kicks about 12 percent less.
Buy the 165 if you want a fast start and the lightest recoil, and most of your shots fall inside 400 yards. Weatherby's Select Plus 165-grain SP shares the same published figures and does the same job. Pick Weatherby's Select Plus 180-grain SP if you want a heavier InterLock bullet that drifts a little less in wind. Pick Nosler's Trophy Grade 180-grain AccuBond if your shots may stretch to 500 yards in wind. Pick Weatherby's Select Plus 180-grain AccuBond for the same bonded bullet at the fastest 180-grain start.
