Hornady "Whitetail"

[Yukongold]

Need some 300 win mag in 180 gr and looks like this is whats available locally. Anyone with an opinion on this round?

Not in that calibre but I have used a 140 gr in my .270
Very accurate, its the Hornady interlock bullet.
Relatively cheap.
The one deer I used it on ran about 20 yards with a blood trail that looks like a horror movie.
I use accubond in my 30.06 because thats what I zeroed my cds with but would feel completely confident switching to the Hornady, especially since its almost 1/2 the price and easy to find.

$54.95 a box (20)

I used some American Whitetail once when I was in a pinch while sighting in my 7-08. It was accurate but closing the bolt was very firm and so was opening it to eject the spent round. I used other Hornady ammo and did not have this issue. Used it on paper this one time only, never on an animal.

My neighbor used this ammo for hunting last year in 7mm-08. It shot fine. Gun went bang, deer went down.

I fired 3 shots with the ammo in his rifle to help him sight-in before hunting season. Ammo was nice and accurate and his rifle liked it fine.

He paid low $40's for a box of 20 last fall. I saw some recently for $70 a box. Yikes!

I’ve shot roughly 50 rounds of it last year before I had started reloading. Very accurate and we’re quite cheap at the time. I’ve shot probably 6 deer with them and always killed effectively as long as I did my part. I also used them on my huge cow elk last year with great performance. This was 270 win 130 grains bullets.
Would definitely recommend to anyone

I use it in my Winchester 88, .308 150 grain. Performs quite well, decent accuracy and good stopping power.

I have a few boxes of 139 gr for my 7mm08, it seems to group as good as any other 140s in my rifle. I have taken 1 wt and one curious coyote with it, and it kills stuff dead as advertised. Never tried it on anything bigger but it seems like a good bullet. It is their interlock bullet as mentioned.

Using that in a .300 wm 180 gr I expect it will work just fine.

Interlocks have killed so many animals. They work very well. Especially when not driven at real high velocity.

[ORVIS]

I shoot American whitetails out of my 7-08rem 139g and they touch at 100yards
In my browning a bolt 30-06 they have about a 2” spread at 100 yards

Try a box out and see if your rifle likes it or not

My son in law shoots it in his 270. Very accurate ammo. Hornady Interlok bullets. I’ve been killing all sorts of game with those bullets for over 40 years. Still use them to this day. He shot a moose a couple of years ago with a 130 grain Hornady Whitetail. Went about 30 yards and dropped. A couple of deer since then have done the same. I wouldn’t hesitate to use that ammo in the least.

I rarely shoot factory ammo, but a few years back I bought a box of Hornady whitetail in 7mm-08. One round failed to fire...when I took it apart there was no powder in it. Fortunately this occurred at the range, Murphy's law was not in effect and it didn't cost me a game animal. The primer had gone off and luckily the bullet had not moved. I sent pics to Hornady customer service, they offered to send me new box of ammo but we couldn't make that work from the US to Canada. They sent apologies and a hat.
