Hornady American Whitetail ammunition is built for hunters who demand precision, reliability, and stopping power. Designed specifically for North America's favorite pursuit—the whitetail deer—this load combines generations of Hornady ballistic expertise with advanced bullet technology.
The secret lies in Hornady's 95-grain Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet, engineered for flat-shooting trajectories and devastating terminal performance. Its secant ogive profile and boattail design produce a high ballistic coefficient, ensuring maximum accuracy and minimal wind drift across open fields. On impact, the polymer tip drives back into the lead core, initiating controlled expansion for an explosive wound channel that transfers massive energy into your target. The exclusive InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together to maintain bullet integrity during expansion, ensuring maximum weight retention.
Each American Whitetail cartridge is loaded with precision-selected powders matched perfectly to the .243 Winchester load, guaranteeing consistent pressure, dependable ignition, and smooth feeding in bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles. Premium brass cases and trusted Hornady primers ensure repeatable accuracy and flawless field performance across a variety of hunting conditions.
