Hornady's SST .270 caliber 150-grain bullets deliver devastating shock and reliable expansion for whitetail and North American game. Polymer tip, InterLock ring, and boattail design ensure flat shooting and downrange energy.
The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) represents decades of ballistic engineering designed specifically for hunters who demand reliable performance on game. These .270 caliber, 150-grain bullets are purpose-built to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at the higher velocities typical of modern rifle cartridges.
Polymer Tip Technology The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and more retained energy downrange, while also initiating controlled expansion upon impact. This design ensures consistent, predictable performance across a wide range of hunting scenarios.
InterLock Ring Hornady's proprietary InterLock ring locks the core and jacket together during expansion, preventing separation and ensuring the bullet retains the mass and energy needed for dramatic wound channels. This engineering detail separates quality hunting bullets from ordinary projectiles.
Secant Ogive Boattail Profile The boattail design reduces drag and improves ballistic efficiency, giving hunters the speed and downrange energy necessary for ethical, effective shots at extended distances. The secant ogive profile contributes to the bullet's superior ballistic coefficient of .525.
Flat shooting and deadly accurate, the SST is an ideal choice for whitetail deer as well as most North American game animals from antelope to moose. The 150-grain weight in .270 caliber provides an excellent balance of velocity, energy retention, and controlled expansion suitable for similar-sized African plains game as well.
