Does the 100gr Interlock hold up on shoulder shots? It is accurate in my 257R and works fine on heart lung shots, but I prefer high shoulder shots as the deer where I hunt are typically only a few steps away from thick, thorny brush. Thanks for any intel.


The flat based bullets seemed to. I never really examined the bullets a lot. Never recovered a lot of them. I will say that every deer I shot with the Hornady 100 grain flat base was DRT. They never took a step. They just folded up right there.
