The Hornady American Whitetail 308 Winchester delivers consistent knockdown power for deer hunters seeking reliable terminal performance. This factory ammunition combines the proven InterLock Spire Point bullet design with carefully selected propellants for optimal accuracy and expansion at hunting ranges.
What Makes This Different
The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion for maximum weight retention. Unlike standard soft point bullets that can fragment, the InterLock design maintains structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. This controlled expansion creates larger wound channels while preserving bullet mass for deeper penetration than conventional hunting rounds.
Key Features
- InterLock ring technology prevents core-jacket separation during expansion
- 150-grain spire point bullet optimized for 308 Winchester ballistics
- Secant ogive profile reduces drag for flatter trajectory
- Tapered jacket design controls expansion from muzzle to 400+ yards
- Premium brass cases sized for consistent chambering
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable propellants
- 20 rounds per box packaging for range sessions and hunting trips
Field testing shows this load averaging 2820 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrels with sub-2 MOA accuracy in most hunting rifles. The 150-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for medium game while generating manageable recoil for follow-up shots. Terminal ballistics remain effective on whitetail deer out to 300 yards, with controlled expansion creating wound channels exceeding 1.5 times bullet diameter.
