Hornady's SST (Super Shock Tip) delivers devastating expansion and reliable performance on North American game from antelope to moose. The polymer tip increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange.
The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) represents decades of hunting ammunition development distilled into a single, highly effective projectile. Designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably—particularly at higher velocities—the SST has earned its reputation as one of the most effective hunting bullets available.
This .308 diameter, 150-grain bullet excels on a wide range of North American game animals, from antelope and whitetail deer to moose and similar-sized African plains game. The flat-shooting characteristics and deadly accuracy make it equally at home in a precision rifle or a traditional hunting arm.
Polymer Tip The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for superior downrange velocity and energy retention, and it initiates controlled expansion upon impact.
Secant Ogive Boattail Profile This profile delivers the speed and ballistic efficiency hunters demand. Faster bullets hit harder—a fundamental principle that drives the SST's design.
InterLock Ring This proprietary feature ensures the core and jacket remain locked solid during expansion, preventing jacket separation and allowing the bullet to retain mass and energy for dramatic wound channels.
Cannelure The cannelure provides accurate and consistent crimping for handloaders while working in concert with the InterLock ring to control expansion.
Whether you're handloading for precision or seeking factory ammunition components, the Hornady SST delivers the performance and reliability serious hunters expect. One hundred rounds per box.
