Hornady 8047 American Whitetail 243 Win 100gr InterLock BTSP Ammo

The Hornady 8047 American Whitetail ammunition delivers proven terminal performance for medium game hunting with its precision-engineered 100-grain InterLock bullet design. This .243 Winchester load combines flat trajectory with controlled expansion to maximize effectiveness on whitetail deer and similar-sized game. Factory-loaded cartridges ensure consistent velocities and reliable ignition across temperature extremes.

What Makes This Different

The InterLock ring mechanically locks the jacket and core together, preventing separation during expansion for maximum weight retention. While standard soft points may fragment on impact, the InterLock design maintains structural integrity through bone and tissue. This translates to deeper penetration and larger wound channels compared to conventional hunting bullets. Boat tail construction reduces drag for flatter trajectories at extended ranges.

Key Features

• 100-grain InterLock Boat Tail Soft Point bullet with mechanical core-jacket lock
• Optimized powder charge produces 2960 fps muzzle velocity from 22-inch barrel
• Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient to 0.357 for extended range performance
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness and flash hole uniformity
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable chambering and extraction
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Compatible with all .243 Winchester chamber firearms

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy from quality bolt-action rifles, making this load suitable for shots out to 300 yards on medium game. The 100-grain bullet weight provides adequate sectional density for clean kills on whitetail deer while generating manageable recoil for extended shooting sessions. Hornady's quality control processes ensure lot-to-lot consistency for predictable point of impact.
