Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST Rifle Ammunition 7mm PRC 154gr PT 3030 fps 20/ct

The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped SST rifle ammunition in 7mm PRC is built for hunters who want proven field performance on deer and elk without the premium price tag. Loaded with Hornady's legendary SST bullet—a design refined over decades of hunting ammunition development—this round pairs modern polymer-tip technology with controlled-expansion ballistics that work when it matters most. At 154 grains and 3030 fps, this load delivers the velocity and energy needed for medium to large game out to typical hunting ranges, and it's packaged in convenient 20-round boxes for opening day and the season ahead.

The SST bullet's polymer tip initiates expansion on impact, but what sets it apart is the InterLock ring—a mechanical feature embedded in the bullet core that locks the jacket and core together during expansion. This design preserves bullet weight and energy transfer, reducing over-expansion and penciling that can cost you a clean, ethical kill. Hornady matched the powder charge for conventional velocities, which means reliable performance in semi-auto rifles as well as bolt guns, and the brass and primers are manufactured to Hornady's quality standard for consistent, accurate shooting shot after shot.

7mm PRC ammunition isn't as common on every shelf, which makes having a reliable, purpose-built load in stock worth considering. American Whitetail Tipped gives you a recognized bullet design in a modern cartridge, loaded to field-proven velocities. Whether you're hunting from a stand in October or glassing timber in November, this round delivers the dependable expansion and energy retention that separate clean, quick harvests from gut shots and lost animals.

Will this ammunition work in semi-automatic rifles?
