Best Uses

Use this box to zero and check your group before the season. The 180-grain InterLock carries extra mass, which helps on large deer, black bear and hogs. It is also a budget-friendly elk option at sensible range. Expect a bit more recoil than the 150-grain version. Hunters who sit in heavy timber or swamp edges often like heavier bullets for their weight and momentum. Hornady American Whitetail 30-06 180 grain gives you that weight at a fair price, so you can practice with the same load you hunt with.
