Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST Rifle Ammunition 300 PRC 165gr PT 3200 fps 20/ct

The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST rifle ammunition in 300 PRC delivers the terminal performance whitetail hunters expect when it matters most. Loaded with a 165-grain SST bullet and clocking 3200 fps, this round bridges modern velocity and proven bullet design for consistent, reliable kills on deer-sized game. Whether you're hunting opening day or the tail end of the season, American Whitetail Tipped ammunition gives you confidence in shot placement and expansion.

At the heart of this load is Hornady's SST bullet—a polymer-tipped, boat-tail design built with the InterLock ring, a raised band embedded in the bullet's core that locks jacket and core together during expansion. That means faster, more controlled mushrooming on impact, better energy retention, and less risk of bullet fragmentation or core-jacket separation. When you're counting on one shot to count, that engineering matters.

Hornady matched the powder charge to produce conventional, safe velocities optimized for both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. Every case and primer is sourced for consistency—shot-to-shot uniformity translates directly to tighter groups and more predictable point of impact in hunting conditions. The 20-round box gets you field-ready quickly without excess inventory taking up safe space.

This load is rated for medium game (50–300 lbs) and large game (300–1500 lbs), so 300 PRC hunters working whitetail will find the ballistics and bullet weight suitable for most North American hunting situations.
