Hornady SST .308 165-Grain Bullets 100-Pack
Hornady's Super Shock Tip (SST) delivers devastating expansion and tremendous shock on impact. The polymer tip boosts ballistic coefficient for flat shooting, while the InterLock ring ensures controlled expansion. Ideal for whitetail and North American game.
Hornady SST .308 165-Grain Bullets
The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) represents a refined approach to hunting bullet design. These .308-diameter, 165-grain projectiles are engineered to perform reliably across a wide range of velocities, making them suitable for both standard and magnum rifle platforms.
Key Features
Polymer Tip Design The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for superior aerodynamic efficiency, and upon impact, it initiates controlled expansion. This means flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange.
Secant Ogive Boattail Profile Hornady's secant ogive geometry, combined with the boattail profile, delivers the speed and ballistic efficiency hunters demand. Faster-traveling bullets hit harder—a fundamental principle reflected in this design.
InterLock Ring This proprietary feature ensures the bullet's core and jacket remain locked together during expansion. The result is a large, devastating wound channel with retained mass and energy for reliable performance on game.
Cannelure The cannelure band provides consistent crimping for handloaders and works in concert with the InterLock ring to control expansion characteristics.
Performance
The SST is flat-shooting and deadly accurate, making it an ideal choice for whitetail deer as well as most North American game animals—from antelope to moose and similar-sized African plains game. The controlled expansion creates a large wound channel while maintaining the bullet's structural integrity.
