Hornady InterLock 7mm .284 Caliber 162 Grain Boat Tail Spire Point Bullets, Part 2845, 100 Count

Hornady InterLock 7mm .284 caliber 162 grain Boat Tail Spire Point reloading bullets are designed for handloaders who want dependable expansion, retained weight, and consistent performance. Part number 2845 features Hornady’s InterLock design, which uses a raised ring inside the jacket that is embedded into the lead core. This structure helps keep the core and jacket together during expansion, supporting reliable energy transfer and weight retention across a broad range of velocities.
The tapered copper jacket is precisely controlled to promote consistent expansion at varying velocities, while the one-piece lead core helps prevent separation during impact. A built-in cannelure supports accurate, repeatable crimping and works with the InterLock ring to further secure the core and jacket. The Boat Tail Spire Point profile is intended to provide an efficient aerodynamic shape for streamlined flight and reliable accuracy when properly matched with a firearm, cartridge, and load recipe.
These Hornady reloading bullets have a .284-inch diameter, a 162-grain weight, a .514 ballistic coefficient, and a .287 sectional density. They are suitable for 7mm cartridge applications and are supplied as 100 bullets per box. As components for handloading, they require appropriate cases, primers, and powder, along with careful adherence to published reloading data and safe loading practices. Always verify bullet seating depth, cartridge specifications, and compatibility with your equipment before use.
