240 Weatherby Magnum 100 Grain Hornady InterLock

The 240 delivers 3,500 fps muzzle velocity (80 grain bullet) and is, on average, considerably faster than any existing standard 6mm cartridge. This means more striking energy delivered at the target, with less bullet drop at longer ranges.

A powerful, fast-killing cartridge

Hornady® InterLock®
The InterLock® features an exposed lead tip for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal performance. A secant ogive design — one of the most ballistically efficient profiles ever developed. The raised ring inside the jacket is embedded in the bullet, combined with the one-piece core, keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion to retain mass and energy.
