Hornady SST 6.5mm 140 Grain Bullets (100 Count)

Hornady SST 6.5mm 140 Grain Bullets

The SST—short for Super Shock Tip—represents Hornady's commitment to delivering reliable, devastating performance in the field. These 140-grain bullets are engineered for hunters who demand accuracy, speed, and terminal performance on game ranging from whitetails to moose.

Key Features

Polymer Tip Design The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and more downrange energy, while also initiating controlled expansion upon impact. This means faster flight and more predictable performance at all practical hunting distances.

Secant Ogive Boat-Tail Profile Hornady's proven secant ogive design delivers the speed and ballistic efficiency serious hunters demand. The boat-tail configuration reduces drag, allowing these bullets to retain velocity and energy downrange—critical for ethical, effective shots at distance.

InterLock Ring Technology The raised InterLock ring is embedded directly in the bullet's core, ensuring the jacket and core remain locked solid during expansion. This prevents separation and core loss, retaining maximum mass and energy for the devastating wound channels hunters expect from premium ammunition.

Controlled Expansion The tapered jacket is precisely engineered for consistent expansion across all velocities. Combined with the cannelure for accurate crimping, these bullets deliver reliable performance whether you're handloading for your favorite rifle or using factory ammunition.
