Bullet ID

It's a Sierra 165gr, the cannelure on the Hornady Interlock is lower. The Interlocks also have more of a secant ogive than gamekings that have a tangent ogive. See attached image of a 160gr Sierra Gameking (left) and a162gr Interlock (right) for comparison.

So if you match your picture with the first picture in the post, it would be a Hornady Interloc. That would be the correct bullet not a Sierra.

When I compare ogives the mistery bullet looks more like a Gameking, and again, the cannelure on the interlock is a little closer to the boat tail.

Also, take in to consideration the 2.5gr weight difference

Load them up and shoot them

Stay safe

Hmm - I think you're right LVJ76 - the Hornady BTSP in your pic shows the notched copper tip at the junction with the lead I remembered as being characteristic of the Hornady Interlocks - not same as Pinski's pic plus cannelure location and ogive shape and 165 gr weight makes sense it could be a Sierra. Just looking at Pinski's pic I was sure it was a Hornady

I was hoping someone posted a pic of a 162 Hornady. It definitely is not a Hornady, tks for your input and pics.

You are correct I looked it up I have never seen them either learn something new today it still does not look like a sierra bullet to me but what does a bullet I have never seen look like

the ogive isn't correct for hornady.
