I just shot a mule deer @ 200 yds with a 180 gr Hornady Interlock Flat Base out of my 30/06 @ 2800 fps(muzzle).
Does anyone know if they have changed this bullet? They don't have the extra ring on the jacket anymore on the new ones.
Shot the deer in the lungs, just hit one rib on the way in and the bullet COMPLETELY disintegrated! Just found parts of the jacket against the inside wall of the ribs on the other side.
I have used this bullet for years (old style with ring) and got pass through s with my 300 H&H @ 3000fps.
Used their 165gr Interlock last year(3006@ 2900fps) and shot two deer with them and had same shots with complete pass through s( 1 @ 30yds, 1 @ 80yds). What gives? Did they change the jacket thickness ?
