Hornady Ammo American Whitetail Tipped 6.5 PRC 129 gr SST 20 Rounds 81624

The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 6.5 PRC 129 gr SST 20 Rounds delivers the accuracy, power, and consistency hunters demand when the moment of truth arrives. Opening day happens only once a year—make it count with ammunition built to perform under pressure. Specifically designed for the modern 6.5 PRC platform, this load combines Hornady’s proven ballistic innovation with the raw terminal energy needed to drop medium game cleanly and humanely. Whether you’re tracking whitetail through dense timber or glassing distant ridges for antelope, this round provides the confidence that every shot will count.

At the core of the Hornady American Whitetail Tipped line is the legendary 129-grain SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet. Its sleek secant ogive and boattail design produce a high ballistic coefficient (.485 G1), ensuring a flatter trajectory and superior retained energy downrange. Upon impact, the signature red polymer tip drives into the core, triggering explosive expansion even at lower velocities. The InterLock ring mechanically bonds the jacket to the core, preventing premature fragmentation and delivering controlled, devastating expansion that penetrates deep while maintaining weight retention for consistent terminal performance.

Hornady’s precision-engineered powders and carefully matched components deliver consistent pressures and velocities for reliable accuracy in every shot. Premium brass cases and primers ensure flawless feeding, ignition, and extraction—even in semi-automatic rifles. The result is a cartridge built for hunters who value accuracy, dependability, and ethical performance at any distance.

Perfect for medium game such as whitetail deer, mule deer, and antelope, this 6.5 PRC load excels from 50 to 300 pounds of target weight. With a muzzle velocity of 3,120 fps, it delivers the velocity, energy, and flat trajectory hunters need for confident shot placement out to extended ranges. Each round is loaded to meet SAAMI standards and crafted with the precision that has made Hornady an industry leader in American-made ammunition.
