Overview
Designed for hunters loading 6.5mm .264 cartridges, this 160-grain round nose bullet is part of Hornady’s traditional line for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. The exposed lead tip and InterLock design are intended to help the core and jacket stay together during expansion, supporting mass and energy retention. Its round nose profile makes it a straightforward choice for hunting applications where dependable terminal behavior is the priority. As with any reloading component, load data should be verified through a reloading manual or powder manufacturer’s website.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a traditional exposed-lead-tip bullet, so it is built around controlled expansion rather than a non-expanding design.
- The product description emphasizes terminal performance, but it does not provide load data here; reloading manual or powder manufacturer data is still required.
- The InterLock design is described as present on most bullets in the line, so buyers should verify the exact construction for this specific item before loading.
- Pack count is 100 bullets, which suits volume reloading but may be more than needed for occasional use.
