Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 6.5 PRC Ammunition 129 Grain SST – 81624
The Hornady American Whitetail Tipped 6.5 PRC 129 Grain SST is engineered for hunters who demand precision, speed, and consistent terminal performance from their 6.5 PRC ammo. Designed around Hornady’s Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet, this cartridge combines flat trajectory and high retained energy with the accuracy needed for long-range success. The polymer tip initiates controlled expansion upon impact, while the InterLock ring ensures the jacket and core stay together for deep penetration and strong weight retention. Built for the modern hunter, this load offers the ideal blend of ballistic efficiency, expansion, and dependability for big game hunts.
Features and Specifications:
- Performance Metrics: The 129-grain SST bullet delivers a powerful combination of velocity, precision, and energy retention - providing flat-shooting performance and dependable impact authority on deer-sized game.
- Polymer Tip Expansion: The hard polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while maintaining bullet integrity, ensuring consistent on-game results across a range of distances.
- Aerodynamic Efficiency: The SST’s secant ogive and boattail design reduce drag and increase long-range stability, taking advantage of the 6.5 PRC’s high ballistic potential.
- InterLock Ring: The InterLock system mechanically locks the jacket to the core for excellent weight retention and controlled penetration through vital zones.
- Packaging Options: Available in 20-round boxes and 200-round cases, with free shipping on bulk ammo through Target Sports USA.
