Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 243 Winchester Ammunition 95 Grain SST – 80461
The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped .243 Winchester 95 Grain SST is built for hunters who demand accuracy, power, and proven on-game performance. Loaded with Hornady’s SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet, this cartridge combines aerodynamic efficiency with devastating terminal effect, offering flat trajectories and reliable expansion on impact. The polymer tip initiates controlled expansion for quick energy transfer, while the InterLock ring keeps the jacket and core together to maintain weight and penetration. Designed for deer hunters who value precision and consistency, this .243 Win ammo delivers trusted performance in the field across a wide range of hunting distances.
Features and Specifications:

- Polymer Tip Impact: The polymer tip initiates expansion instantly upon impact, producing controlled, reliable mushrooming and consistent terminal results.
- Aerodynamic Design: Hornady’s secant ogive profile and boattail base improve ballistic efficiency, reducing drag and enhancing long-range stability.
- InterLock Ring Construction: The mechanical InterLock ring secures the core and jacket together to promote maximum weight retention and deep penetration.
- Reliable Cannelure: A precision cannelure supports consistent crimping and uniform pressure, contributing to accuracy and repeatable velocities.
- Intended Application: Tailored for deer and medium-sized game, this load provides flat shooting, dependable accuracy, and controlled expansion hunters can rely on.
- Packaging Options: Available in boxes of 20 rounds and cases of 200 rounds, with free shipping on bulk ammo through Target Sports USA.
