LMFAO........ how you could call ANY of those three a traditional projectile is beyond me........ correct me if Im wrong but none were around 30 years ago let alone 100 years ago when the 6.5 calibre was in use world wide.....
the hornady interloct in question would just about have to rate as the mosttraditional projectile out there along with speer soft point spitzers etc....traditional to me implies cup n core with exposed lead tip,either round nosed or splitzer

@Micky Duck I'm sorry my definition of traditional bullet design doesn't fit into your narrow selection of 2 projectiles. When I say 'traditional' I am referring to copper cup, lead core as opposed to mono metal design.

The SST and ELDX are cup and core with a red plastic tip and good marketing behind them.

The EOL has an enclosed lead core with a longer draw on the swaged jacket and then a separate pointing exercise to increase BC.
