Helpful Positive Review White Tail by rlang, September 19, 2021
The only ammo I use to hunt White Tail Deer with My Ruger SR762 (AR10). I'm a neck shooter, they just drop where they stood. I hunt a wooded area with ranges up to one hundred twenty yards. On the range six hundred yards are not a problem.

Features of Hornady Precision Hunter .308 Winchester 178 Grain Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding Centerfire Rifle Ammunition:

  • Best-In-Class BCs: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in--class BC over its entire trajectory.
  • Match Accurate Hunting Bullet: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
  • Devastating Conventional Range Performance: With high velocity, 0--400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50--60% weight retention.
  • Best Extended Range Terminal Performance Available: Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85--90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
