Hornady ammunition is one of Gun City's preferred products for the following reasons:

• Made in the USA
• Generally loaded to higher velocity than competitors
• Consistent supply in NZ from excellent importer
• Wide range of calibres and projectile weights and types
• Customers report that it is well worth paying a little extra for this premium product

This 180gr Hornady bullet has both "SST" and "Interlock" features. SST is the plastic tip and Interlock refers to the cannelure (crimped ring) which locks core and jacket together.

Wikipedia says:

Plastic tipped bullets are a type of bullet meant to confer the advantages of both spitzer point bullet and hollow point bullets. They consist of a fairly normal hollow-point bullet with the frontal cavity filled in by hard plastic, which is molded into a streamlined shape mimicking the shape of a spitzer bullet. Upon impact, the plastic drives into the hollow point, or fragments into small pieces and the bullet performs like a regular hollow-point, expanding ("mushrooming") to a larger diameter or fragmenting. The end result is a bullet with the streamlined characteristics of spitzer bullet and the increased terminal mushrooming of JHPs. These bullets possess the aerodynamics for longer, more accurate flights, and the in-target performance to ensure high lethality.
