The Hornady American Whitetail .30-30 Winchester 150gr RN InterLock is a 20-round box of .30-30 Winchester hunting ammunition (Hornady part no. 80801). It belongs to the American Whitetail line from Hornady, built around opening day of deer season and loaded with legendary InterLock bullets in weights that have been deer hunting favorites for decades. The bullet has an exposed lead tip for controlled expansion, and its InterLock ring keeps core and jacket locked together to retain mass and energy. Out of a 24-inch test barrel it leaves the muzzle at 2390 fps, and powder is matched to each load for optimum pressure and consistency. It is made in the USA, which makes it a ready choice for deer season and range checks of your hunting rifle.
