Opening day of deer season comes only once a year. Make sure you're ready when the big one steps out and load‑up with Hornady® American Whitetail® ammunition.
Loaded with our legendary Hornady® InterLock® bullets in weights that have been deer hunting favorites for decades, American Whitetail® ammunition combines generations of ballistics know‑how with modern components and the technology you need to take the buck of a lifetime!
Features:
-Proven Hornady® Bullets
American Whitetail® TIPPED ammunition is loaded with Hornady® SST® and FTX® bullets that feature our pioneering secant ogive design and exclusive InterLock® ring. The InterLock® ring – a raised ring embedded in the bullet's core, keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion to retain mass and energy.
-Controlled Expansion
Upon impact, the polymer tip of the bullet drives into the lead core, initiating lightening fast, yet controlled expansion.
-Powders
Loaded to conventional velocities, powder is matched to each load for optimum pressure and consistency, ensuring each load is compatible with semi‑autos as well.
-Case and Primer
Like all Hornady® ammunition, our American Whitetail® TIPPED rounds use the highest quality cases and primers available. Consistent components translate to consistent shooting in the field.
