Hornady SST .257 117-Grain Bullets (100-Count)

Hornady SST .257 Caliber Bullets

The Hornady SST—short for Super Shock Tip—represents a refined approach to hunting bullet design. These .257 caliber, 117-grain projectiles are engineered to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at higher velocities.

Key Features

Polymer Tip Design The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and better downrange energy retention, and upon impact, it initiates controlled expansion for consistent performance across a wide velocity range.

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 design retains maximum mass and energy, creating devastatingly large wound channels.

Secant Ogive Boat-Tail Profile This aerodynamic design delivers the speed and ballistic efficiency hunters demand. The boat-tail configuration reduces drag and extends effective range while maintaining downrange energy.

Tapered Jacket with Cannelure Jacket thickness is precisely controlled to enable expansion at all velocities. The cannelure provides accurate and consistent crimping while working in concert with the InterLock ring to control expansion.

Performance and Application

Flat shooting and deadly accurate, SST bullets are ideal for whitetail deer and most North American game animals from antelope to moose. They also perform admirably on similar-sized African plains game. The combination of speed, accuracy, and controlled expansion makes them a trusted choice for hunters who demand reliability in the field.
