Default RE: Hornady Interlock.........

I' d agree with that. Thanks for the pics.....A .416 is a tad much for black bear but " to each, his own" .

lol isnt that the truth, it' s really too much for anything here in North America, but with that said I truly enjoy this round. I use it for everything. One of these days I am going after turkey with a solid at appx 1500 fps or a hard cast 300 gr.
I whacked 3 hogs last year that were all lined up in a row with 1 shot.... the first 2 had normal damage to the meat/shoulder area while the 3rd and last hog had very extreme damage to say the least. You can tell by the entry wound that the bullet was fully expanded when it entered the shoulder, it was about an inch in diameter, it exited up through the spine and was not recovered. That is the most damage I have ever seen on a critter.

The common misconception is that these big cartridges destroy alot of meat..... while in reality the big bullets just penetrate well and disrupt no more that most high power cartridges. There are exceptions to the rule as the above story stated.
