HRNDY AW 400 LEG 210GR INT SP 20/200

Description

Hornady’s American Whitetail line exists for one purpose: putting deer on the ground reliably without asking the hunter to spend match-grade money to do it. This .400 Legend loading fits squarely in that mission. The .400 Legend is a straight-wall cartridge, which makes it well suited to hunters in parts of the country where rifle deer seasons are restricted to that case geometry — but the round also delivers enough retained energy at practical hunting distances to work cleanly on whitetail and similarly sized game well beyond what a pistol cartridge can manage.

The 210-grain InterLock bullet is the core of what makes this load function the way it does. Hornady’s InterLock design uses a raised ring inside the jacket that physically locks it to the lead core, preventing the two from separating on impact. That mechanical connection keeps the bullet together through the initial shock of terminal entry and controls how the nose peels back, promoting consistent, deep penetration rather than the fragmentation you’d get from a varmint or target bullet pushed past its design limits. The soft-point profile also initiates expansion reliably without requiring high velocity to trigger it — an important consideration in a cartridge that operates at moderate velocity levels compared to belted magnums.

Brass cases mean this ammunition can be reloaded once fired, which matters to hunters who work up specific loads for their rifle after hunting season ends. Hornady loads American Whitetail to consistent standards that make it a practical choice for pre-season load development, not just field carry. Twenty rounds per box gives enough to zero, confirm groups, and still have rounds left when the season opens.
