Hornady American Whitetail Ammunition 7mm-08 Remington 139 Grain Interlock Spire Point 20RD
Hornady American Whitetail ammunition in 7mm-08 Remington is built for hunters serious about whitetail success. Each round pairs a 139-grain InterLock Spire Point bullet with quality components and powders tuned for reliable, consistent performance in the field. Whether you're hunting from a rifle that feeds semi-auto or bolt-action, this load is engineered to deliver the terminal performance you need when a buck steps out.
The InterLock bullet is Hornady's proven design for controlled expansion and energy retention. A raised ring inside the jacket locks the core and jacket together as the bullet expands, keeping the projectile intact and maximizing the energy transfer to your target. The exposed lead tip initiates rapid, predictable expansion while the secant ogive profile delivers consistent ballistics shot to shot.
Consistent ammunition starts with consistent components. Hornady American Whitetail rounds use quality cases and primers matched with powders selected for each specific load. That attention to detail translates to predictable velocities and tight shot groups at the range, so you're confident when it counts on opening day.
This is practical, purpose-built deer ammunition—no hype, no premium pricing. Just reliable rounds loaded to conventional velocities and ready to work in medium to large game applications.
