Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady 30-06 Ammo 165 Grain for Sale

Is 165 grain 30-06 good for deer?

Yes, 165 grain 30-06 works well for deer. It's a solid choice for whitetail and mule deer, offering good velocity and energy with slightly less recoil than heavier options. Quality factory loads from Federal, Remington, Winchester, and Hornady typically run $30–$40 per box and perform reliably on deer-sized game.

What does Hornady SST stand for?

SST stands for Super Shock Tip. It refers to Hornady's polymer-tipped bullet designed for rapid, reliable expansion on impact. The tip initiates expansion while the boat-tail base improves ballistic coefficient. SST bullets are used across many hunting calibers.

What is better, 150 grain or 170 grain?

The 150 gr vs 170 gr debate applies to .30-30 Winchester, not 30-06 Springfield. Our 165 grain 30-06 load is a popular all-around choice for that cartridge, balancing velocity and penetration well for deer hunting at varied distances. Factory loads typically cost $30–$50 per box.
