The Hornady Custom Lite .30-06 Springfield 125gr SST is a specialised centre fire rifle cartridge engineered to dramatically reduce recoil and muzzle blast compared to standard loads. It is heavily favoured by youth shooters, small-framed individuals, and hunters who have become recoil-sensitive over time.

Performance and Target Application

• Recoil Reduction: Tames felt recoil by roughly 25% to 43% by combining a lighter 125-grain bullet with customised, fast-burning propellants.
• Game Suitability: Specifically rated for Medium Game weighing between 50 to 300 lbs (such as whitetail deer and antelope) at distances ranging from 50 to 300 yards.
• Terminal Ballistics: The signature polymer tip and interlocking ring structure control jacket separation, which forces rapid, dramatic expansion while maintaining high weight retention for a clean harvest.
