Overview
This traditional .30 caliber .308 150 grain BTSP bullet is built for reloaders looking to assemble hunting loads with controlled expansion in mind. Its exposed lead tip and InterLock design are intended to help the bullet hold together during expansion, supporting retained mass and energy. The secant ogive profile is part of Hornady’s traditional bullet line and is suited to hunters who want a proven component for general big-game use. As with any reloading component, load data should be checked carefully in a reloading manual or on the powder manufacturer’s website before use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a traditional exposed-lead-tip hunting bullet, so it is intended for controlled expansion rather than the non-expanding behavior some shooters want for other applications.
- Load data is not provided here; Hornady directs users to a reloading manual or powder manufacturer website, so setup requires outside reference before use.
- The product description uses broad terms like "most" for features such as secant ogive and InterLock design, so the exact feature set should be verified against the specific bullet listing before loading.
- Pack size is 100 count, which is practical for reloaders but may be more than needed for occasional use.
