It combines a heavy 250gr bullet with a traditional round-nose profile and Hornady’s InterLock construction. As a result, it provides a conventional hunting bullet option for shooters who prefer a heavier projectile and traditional lead-core construction.

Why Choose Hornady 338 250gr RN?

The Hornady 338 250gr RN combines substantial projectile weight with a traditional round-nose profile.
