Hornady 81084 American Whitetail 30-06 Springfield 180gr InterLock

The Hornady 81084 American Whitetail ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its proven InterLock Spire Point design. This 30-06 Springfield load combines traditional hunting bullet construction with modern manufacturing precision to ensure reliable expansion and deep penetration on whitetail deer and similar-sized game.

What Makes This Different

The InterLock Spire Point bullet features a raised ring that mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion. Unlike standard soft point bullets that may fragment or fail to expand consistently, the InterLock design maintains 90% weight retention while creating a controlled mushroom shape. The spire point profile provides a higher ballistic coefficient than round nose bullets, delivering flatter trajectory and better downrange energy retention.

Key Features

• 180-grain InterLock Spire Point bullet with mechanical core-jacket lock
• Muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps with 2,913 ft-lbs of energy
• Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities across temperature ranges
• Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper resizing
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Ballistic coefficient of .480 for improved long-range performance
• Boxer-primed cases with non-corrosive primers

Field performance demonstrates effective expansion at impact velocities between 1,800-2,800 fps, making this load suitable for shots from close range out to 300 yards on whitetail deer. The 180-grain bullet weight provides sufficient momentum for quartering shots and maintains energy for clean, ethical harvests. Temperature-stable powder ensures consistent point of impact whether hunting in early season heat or late season cold.
