With the critical shortage of components, I’ve been trying some of the old style cup and core bullets, as my desired premium bullets just can’t be found. Midway had some Hornady Interlock bullets available in 270 (130 grain) and 30 caliber (150 grain). They’ve been around quite a while but are still reasonably priced....31 cents per round. Bought a few boxes of each caliber. I’ve never seen a bullet that was any less sensitive to powder or caliber. I’ve loaded these bullets in four different rifles using three different powders (IMR 4350, IMR4064 and Varget). My rifles are as follows: Winchester Model 70 stainless in 270, Sako Model 75 stainless in 270, Sako Model 75 Stainless in 308 and a Ruger M77 MKII in 30-06. These rifles are nothing special but all are accurate.
I’ve used Federal 210 primers and powder charges that I know to be accurate with those weight bullets. All these rifles shot sub MOA groups and three of the four shot one hole groups. All seem to shoot best with the bullets seated .055” off the lands. All in all very impressive with a bullet that I’ve concluded is inherently accurate. Who knew?
