[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2257396, member: 75451"] I see that no one has answered your question,,,,,so I’ll relate my experience ....though a different caliber at somewhat lower velocities. I used the interlock with satisfaction at around 2700 + fps mv. When I used the same bullet in a different cartridge at higher velocities (2900+), I found that on close shots (inside of 100 yards, I was a little disappointed, as the penetration seemed to be substantially decreased. While the bullet held together showing the picture perfect mushroom, it had shed approximately 35 to 40% of it’s original weight. This is purely conjecture on my part, but I believe that the rapid expansion, bullet weight loss, and reduced penetration, were directly tied to the increase in velocity! Your potential velocities, may increase the effects that I noted! memtb Though I went to a different bullet (a mono), I would still prefer the Hornady Interlock over many of the very fragile bullets popularized today......especially for elk, moose, ect! memtb [/QUOTE]
