Hornady InterLock (2630) component bullets give reloaders a high-performance 6.5mm soft point rifle bullet for handloading 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55 Swedish, 264 Winchester Magnum, and other 6.5mm cartridges where flat trajectories, controlled expansion, and core-jacket integrity on medium to large game are the priority. These 6.5mm .264 diameter 140 grain InterLock soft point bullets pack 100 per box and are a proven reloading component for deer, elk, and black bear hunters who need a long-range capable hunting bullet that drives deep and holds together through the shot.

Special Features
- Raised InterLock ring is embedded directly into the one-piece lead alloy core, mechanically locking the core and jacket together during expansion to prevent separation and maintain mass and energy through heavy-bodied game.
- Inner grooves strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket, ensuring consistent, controlled expansion even at long range where velocity has dropped well below muzzle levels.
- Tapered jacket provides precisely controlled expansion at lower velocities while preventing over-expansion at close-range, high-velocity impacts, giving hunters consistent performance across the full range of hunting distances.
- Secant ogive profile pioneered by Hornady produces a low-drag, aerodynamic shape with a long bearing surface that delivers flatter trajectories, increased stability, and tighter groups compared to conventional round nose designs.
- Exposed lead soft point tip initiates rapid expansion on impact while the broader point diameter ensures consistent mushrooming even at reduced velocity, making this bullet a capable choice for longer shots in open country.
- Cannelure works in tandem with the InterLock ring to secure the core and jacket during penetration and provides a firm, consistent crimp seat for uniform overall cartridge length.
Practical Benefits
- Hunters running 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x55 Swedish for deer and elk at extended distances get a bullet with an outstanding G1 ballistic coefficient of .465 and sectional density of .287, two numbers that translate directly into flat trajectories, excellent wind resistance, and deep penetration on large-bodied animals.
- The InterLock design gives reloaders a controlled-expansion hunting bullet at a price point well below premium bonded options, making it practical to shoot and practice with the same component you carry into the field.
- Reloaders developing loads for bolt-action or single-shot 6.5mm rifles can fine-tune powder charges and seating depth to extract full accuracy from their specific barrel without sacrificing terminal performance.
- Your handloads built on the Hornady InterLock (2630) give you a field-proven 6.5mm hunting bullet that combines long-range ballistic efficiency with the core integrity needed for clean, ethical kills on medium to large game.
The Hornady InterLock (2630), a 6.5mm .264 diameter 140 grain soft point rifle bullet, is a proven platform and dependable option for reloaders who need an accurate, flat-shooting, and reliably expanding bullet for 6.5mm hunting applications from deer to elk-class game.
