Hornady SST 7mm .284 162gr Hunting Bullets
Hornady's legendary SST hunting bullet in 7mm delivers devastating expansion and energy transfer. The polymer tip boosts ballistic coefficient while the InterLock ring ensures core-jacket integrity for reliable performance on game.
Hornady SST: Proven Performance for North American Hunting
The Hornady SST—short for Super Shock Tip—represents decades of hunting bullet refinement. Designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at higher velocities, this 162-grain 7mm projectile is flat-shooting, deadly accurate, and ideal for whitetails and most North American game animals from antelope to moose.
Key Design Features
Ballistic Efficiency
- Sleek polymer tip increases ballistic coefficient (.550) for flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange
- Secant ogive boat-tail profile maximizes aerodynamic efficiency
- Sectional density of .287 ensures deep, consistent penetration
Controlled Expansion
- Polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact
- InterLock ring locks core and jacket together during expansion, preventing separation
- Cannelure provides accurate, consistent crimping
- Retained mass and energy create devastatingly large wound channels
Performance Profile
It's a fundamental truth in ballistics: bullets that travel faster hit harder. The SST's design philosophy embraces this principle. Whether you're hunting at sea level or in the mountains, from 100 yards to 400, the SST delivers the speed, ballistic efficiency, and downrange energy serious hunters demand.
