Description
Hornady’s American Whitetail Tipped line was built around the reality that most deer hunters want ammunition that performs reliably across a wide range of shot distances without requiring hand-loading expertise or a premium price. The .300 PRC chambering makes this load well-suited to hunters who need to reach across open country — whether that’s western mule deer country, high-elevation elk terrain, or any situation where a flat trajectory and retained energy at distance matter more than minimizing recoil.
The 165-grain SST — Super Shock Tip — bullet uses a polymer tip seated into a hollow point cavity. On impact, that tip drives rearward into the bullet, initiating rapid and consistent expansion even at the lower velocities encountered at extended range. The jacket is designed to hold together well enough to push through shoulder bone and reach vitals, while still delivering the terminal upset needed for a clean kill. This is a boat-tail projectile, which helps it shed velocity more slowly in flight, keeping energy on target at longer distances.
Hornady loads this ammunition in brass cases, which are reloadable for shooters who eventually want to work up custom loads once they’ve accumulated fired brass. Primer and powder selection is handled at the factory to produce consistent muzzle velocity, which matters practically because vertical dispersion at distance is often a function of velocity spread rather than group size at the muzzle. Each box contains 20 rounds.
