Hornady's traditional line of bullets feature exposed lead tips for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. Most have Hornady's pioneering secant ogive design - one of the most ballistically efficient profiles ever developed (see diagram to right). Most feature Hornady's exclusive InterLock design - a raised ring inside the jacket that is embedded in the bullet's core that keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion to retain mass and energy.

• Inner grooves - strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket, ensuring consistent, controlled expansion, even at long range
• Tapered jacket - jacket thickness is precisely controlled for expansion at all velocities
• 1-piece core - does not separate like 2-piece divided cores, the interlock retains more mass and energy for deep penetration and large, consistent wound channels that ensure quick, clean kills
• Cannelure - provides accurate and consistent crimping and also works with interlock ring to ensure the core and jacket remain locked during expansion
• Interlock ring - the raised interlock ring is embedded in the bullet's core, ensuring the core and jacket are locked in 1-piece during expansion to retain mass and energy
