Many years ago, a gun shop owner suggested I try the new Hornady Custom factory load with the 140 gr. Interlock bullet. It shot very well in my Weatherby Vanguard, within the factory accuracy guarantee. The rifle was new at the time and had severely disappointed me with Federal Premium 150 gr. loads which shot 6" patterns (not groups) at 100, so the 140 IL presented a refreshing contrast in performance. I handloaded some 140s and got similar results. I have had consistent pass-throughs with significant wound channels (like in the hole-in-the-ribs picture earlier in this thread) so I have not felt any pressing need to look for a different bullet.
