The Hornady American Whitetail .300 Winchester Magnum 180gr Interlock ammunition provides consistent and effective terminal performance for medium game hunting applications. Engineered to stringent specifications, this cartridge delivers reliable energy transfer and deep penetration, critical for humane harvests.
Key Features
Interlock Bullet Construction
Central to the American Whitetail line is the Hornady Interlock bullet. This projectile features a proprietary design incorporating a lead core mechanically locked to the gilding metal jacket. This Interlock ring ensures the core and jacket remain together during high-velocity impact, mitigating fragmentation and promoting controlled expansion for maximum energy transfer within the target. The exposed lead tip facilitates rapid, dependable expansion upon impact, while the secant ogive profile optimizes ballistic efficiency for extended ranges typically encountered when hunting whitetail and similar medium game.
Optimized Propellant and Primer
Each American Whitetail cartridge is loaded with propellants meticulously matched to the Interlock bullet and .300 Win Mag chambering. This optimization yields consistent muzzle velocities and stable internal ballistics across varying environmental conditions. Coupled with reliable primers, these components ensure dependable ignition and predictable trajectory, contributing directly to shot placement precision.
Application-Specific Design
Developed specifically for whitetail deer and other medium-sized game, this ammunition is calibrated to deliver the necessary energy and penetration profile required for clean kills. The 180-grain bullet weight in .300 Winchester Magnum offers a substantial balance of velocity and downrange energy retention, making it a robust choice for diverse hunting scenarios.
Consistent Performance
KFF Defense recognizes the imperative of reliability in hunting ammunition. The Hornady American Whitetail series is manufactured to Hornady’s established quality control standards, ensuring uniformity across lots. This consistency is paramount for shooters requiring predictable results from their ammunition, whether for range validation or afield.
