Hornady Custom Lite ammunition in .275 Rigby (part no. 8070) loads a 140-grain InterLock soft point bullet, built as a reduced-recoil option for shooters who want to stay accurate and comfortable behind a classic big-game cartridge. Custom Lite trades some velocity for meaningfully less felt recoil, making it a practical choice for new hunters, smaller-framed shooters, or anyone doing extended practice before a hunt. The InterLock bullet uses a mechanically locked jacket-to-core ring that resists separation on impact, giving it dependable, controlled expansion despite the reduced-recoil loading. For .275 Rigby hunters who want a lighter-recoiling practice and hunting round, this rifle ammunition is built for exactly that need.
