Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 300 PRC Ammo 165 Grain Polymer Tip - 82163

Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 300 PRC Ammunition 165 Grain SST - 82163

The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped .300 PRC 165 Grain SST is crafted for hunters who expect precision, energy, and consistent performance from their .300 PRC ammo. Loaded with Hornady’s proven Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet, this cartridge offers flat trajectories, excellent accuracy, and devastating terminal results on game. The polymer tip enhances aerodynamics and initiates rapid yet controlled expansion upon impact, while the InterLock ring keeps the jacket and core bonded for superior weight retention and deep penetration. Designed for those who need accuracy and long-range capability, this load maximizes the potential of the .300 PRC, making it a reliable choice for both whitetail and larger game.
