The bullet is engineered with a strategically weakened upper jacket section to ensure consistent, controlled expansion even at extended ranges. Its tapered jacket design features precisely regulated thickness to promote reliable expansion across a wide range of impact velocities. A one-piece core construction prevents separation like traditional two-part cores, allowing the InterLock� design to retain more mass and energy for deep penetration and the formation of large, consistent wound channels that support quick, clean terminal performance. The cannelure enables precise and uniform crimping while also working in conjunction with the InterLock� ring to keep the core and jacket securely bonded during expansion. Additionally, the raised InterLock� ring is embedded within the bullet�s core, locking the components together upon impact to maintain mass retention and energy transfer throughout penetration.
