Hornady American Whitetail 6.5mm Creedmoor 129gr SST Ammo, 20-Round Box

Hornady American Whitetail 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition (part no. 81509) loads a 129-grain SST bullet, bringing one of the most popular modern hunting cartridges to a genuine deer-hunting price point. Hornady built the American Whitetail line around the idea that a whitetail hunt does not need premium big-game ammunition to succeed, so this load pairs the proven SST bullet with pricing tuned for deer hunters rather than dangerous-game outfitters. 6.5mm Creedmoor’s mild recoil and inherent accuracy make it easy to shoot well, while the SST’s polymer tip drives rapid, consistent expansion for a quick, humane kill. Twenty rounds to the box, this is rifle ammunition built for hunters who want modern-cartridge accuracy without premium-cartridge pricing.
