Hornady American Whitetail .308 Winchester 165 Grain InterLock – 20 Per Box / 200 Per Case 80904

The Hornady American Whitetail .308 Winchester 165 Grain InterLock (80904) is the perfect blend of American tradition and Hornady innovation. Tailored specifically for whitetail hunters, this cartridge uses Hornady’s legendary InterLock bullet — a soft-point design with a raised ring that mechanically locks the core and jacket together for superior weight retention.

This combination ensures controlled expansion and consistent terminal performance, making it a trusted choice for deer hunters across Louisiana and beyond. The 165-grain load balances recoil and energy perfectly, delivering flat trajectories, hard hits, and tight accuracy out to 300 yards and beyond.

Every American Whitetail round is crafted with premium brass, non-corrosive primers, and clean-burning powder, ensuring smooth feeding and consistent performance in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles.
