Why Buy Hornady .308 Win American Whitetail 150gr InterLock Spire Point Ammo
Hornady's .308 Win American Whitetail 150gr InterLock Spire Point Ammo is purpose-built for whitetail hunting. The InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion, retaining mass and energy for deep penetration. This load's 150gr projectile strikes a balance between velocity and energy, making it effective out to 300 yards on medium-sized game.
With a muzzle velocity of 2820 fps and energy of 2649 ft-lbs, this round delivers enough power for clean, ethical kills on whitetails. The spire point design improves the ballistic coefficient to 0.338, helping maintain velocity and energy downrange. This load performs best in 1:10" twist barrels common in many .308 hunting rifles.
Pros
- InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation
- Effective ballistics for whitetail hunting out to 300 yards
- Spire point improves ballistic coefficient
Cons
- May be overpowered for smaller game
- Not ideal for long-range shooting past 400 yards
Similar Products Compared
Compared to Federal's .308 Win 165gr Trophy Copper, Hornady's offering provides a higher muzzle velocity of 2820 fps vs 2700 fps. This flatter trajectory aids in shot placement, especially at longer ranges. However, the Trophy Copper boasts a superior ballistic coefficient of 0.503, potentially maintaining energy better at extended distances.
When stacked against Federal's American Eagle .308 Win 150gr FMJ-BT, both loads share identical muzzle velocities. The key difference lies in the projectile design. Hornady's InterLock SP is engineered for expansion and energy transfer in game animals, while the FMJ-BT is better suited for target practice. The InterLock's 0.338 BC falls short of the FMJ-BT's 0.408, indicating potentially better long-range performance from the Federal load in wind drift and velocity retention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the effective range for whitetail hunting with this load?
This load is most effective on whitetails out to about 300 yards. Beyond that, velocity and energy drop off significantly, potentially compromising terminal performance and ethical kills.
How does the InterLock design affect terminal performance?
The InterLock ring mechanically locks the bullet's core and jacket together. This promotes controlled expansion and high weight retention, resulting in deeper penetration and more reliable performance on game animals.
Is this ammunition suitable for semi-automatic .308 rifles?
Yes, this ammunition is suitable for use in semi-automatic .308 rifles. The brass case and moderate pressure levels ensure reliable feeding and extraction in most semi-auto platforms.
