Hornady 308 WIN 165GR SP Whitetail

Hornady American Whitetail .308 Winchester, 165 grain soft point. The plain, cheap, works-every-time deer load.

Who it’s for

Anyone with a .308 and a deer tag. There’s nothing clever going on here and that’s the appeal. An InterLock soft point is a lead core with a jacket mechanically locked to it, a design old enough to have killed a great many animals, loaded at a price that doesn’t hurt.

165 grain is the sensible middle of the .308 range. Flat enough for open ground, heavy enough that you’re not worried if the shot is quartering.

What you get

• 165 grain InterLock soft point
• Jacket locked to the core so the bullet stays whole through bone
• The cheapest of the four .308 loads we carry
• 20 rounds per box

Which .308 should you buy

Four options here, and the honest answer for most hunters is this one. Buy the 165 grain SST Superformance if you want a tipped bullet and more speed. Buy the 150 grain SST Superformance if your rifle prefers lighter bullets. Buy the 125 grain Custom Lite if recoil is the problem you’re solving.

This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
