Hornady American Whitetail .300 PRC 165gr SST Ammo, 20-Round Box

Hornady American Whitetail .300 PRC ammunition (part no. 82163) loads a 165-grain SST bullet, pairing a serious modern magnum cartridge with a deer-hunting price point. Hornady designed .300 PRC as a long-range magnum built around efficient, high-BC bullets, and the American Whitetail line brings that platform’s flat trajectory and retained energy to hunters who do not need premium big-game pricing to fill a deer tag. The SST’s polymer tip initiates rapid, consistent expansion on impact, while the cartridge’s inherent long-range capability gives hunters more margin on longer shots than a standard short-action deer round. Twenty rounds to the box, this is rifle ammunition built for hunters who want magnum reach without a magnum price tag.
