Why step up to 165 grains in .30-06?
Ideal Weight for Versatility
165 grains hits the sweet spot between the flat trajectory of 150gr and the deep penetration of 180gr, making it a one-rifle/one-load answer for most North American big game.
InterLock® Confidence
The InterLock® ring locks the lead core to the jacket, promoting uniform expansion and excellent weight retention—critical on quartering shots and heavy-boned game.
Ammo Inc. Consistency
Clean-burning powders, quality brass, and strict QC keep ES/SD tight for predictable drops and sub-MOA potential in many rifles.
Smooth Feeding Across Platforms
A classic soft-point profile that cycles reliably in both bolt-action and semi-auto .30-06 rifles.
Field performance & best-fit scenarios
Whitetail & Mule Deer: Rapid, controlled upset with plenty of penetration for pass-throughs and strong blood trails.
Elk (within ethical ranges): Heavier 165gr weight and InterLock® construction offer the penetration many hunters prefer on elk-sized animals.
Hogs & Black Bear: Robust cup-and-core design handles tough hide and bone when shot placement is right.
Open Country Hunts: Retains energy and resists wind better than lighter bullets while still shooting relatively flat to 300+ yards.
Pro tip: Zero 1.5–2" high at 100 yards for a practical 200-yard zero with many 165gr .30-06 loads. Always confirm with your rifle.
What to expect (general ballistic behavior*)
Bullet Weight: 165 grains
Bullet Type: InterLock® Soft Point (controlled expansion)
Trajectory: Flatter than 180gr with excellent retained energy downrange
Terminal Effect: Wide, reliable mushroom with strong penetration and retained mass
*Actual velocity/trajectory vary by barrel, altitude, temperature, and lot. Validate on paper and with a chrono when possible.

Setup tips for consistent results
Re-zero for the load: Even within .30-06, bullet weight changes POI. Confirm at 100–200 yards.
Confirm drops: True your ballistic app at 300–400 yards if your terrain allows.
Pick the right optic: A lightweight 2-10× or 3-15× with a simple BDC/MIL reticle suits most hunts.
Practice from field positions: Tripod, pack, and shooting sticks reps matter more than bench groups.
Keep lot numbers consistent: Buy by the 10-box case to train and hunt with the same lot.
