Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST Rifle Ammunition 6.5 PRC 129gr PT 3120 fps 20/ct

The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST rifle ammunition in 6.5 PRC is purpose-built for whitetail hunters who demand reliable, consistent performance when it counts. Loaded with Hornady's proven 129-grain SST bullet, this ammunition delivers the controlled expansion and bone-crushing energy needed to anchor deer cleanly across the effective hunting range. The polymer tip initiates rapid yet predictable expansion on impact, while the InterLock ring—a raised band embedded in the bullet's core—keeps the jacket and core locked together through the expansion process to maximize energy transfer and ensure ethical, one-shot kills.

What sets American Whitetail Tipped apart is the engineering behind every round. Hornady's distinctive secant ogive bullet design, combined with quality brass cases and reliable primers, means you get shot-to-shot consistency that translates into tight groups at the range and confident field performance when you're glassing for that buck. The loads are developed to conventional velocities and matched powders for safe, reliable function in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms—no surprises when you need dependability most.

Whether you're hunting over food plots in the early season or pushing into November rut, the 6.5 PRC's flat trajectory and mild recoil let you stay on target and shoot accurately from hunting positions where precision matters. This is ammunition built by hunters, for hunters, backed by generations of Hornady ballistics expertise.
