The Hornady American Whitetail .308 Winchester 150 Grain SP (8090) is one of the most trusted hunting loads in America. Specifically designed for whitetail deer, this cartridge combines Hornady’s InterLock soft-point bullet with optimized propellants and high-quality components for unmatched consistency in the field.
The InterLock bullet features a traditional lead core mechanically locked to the jacket, ensuring the bullet stays intact for controlled expansion and superior weight retention. This results in deep, straight-line penetration and dependable knockdown power — ideal for deer and medium-sized game.
