Hornady Superformance .338 Win. Mag. 225gr SST
Hornady's Superformance .338 Win. Mag. ammunition delivers 100-200 fps velocity gains over conventional loads using advanced propellants at standard charge weights. The 225-grain Super Shock Tip bullet achieves 2840 fps muzzle velocity with uncompromising accuracy and no increase in felt recoil.
Hornady Superformance .338 Win. Mag. 225gr SST
Hornady's Superformance ammunition represents a fundamental shift in how modern rifle ammunition achieves superior ballistic performance. Rather than relying on the brute-force approach of heavy powder charges and larger case capacities—which inevitably increase recoil and muzzle blast—Superformance employs specialized, ultra-progressive propellants at standard charge weights.
Performance Characteristics
- Muzzle Velocity: 2840 fps
- Muzzle Energy: 4029 ft-lbs
- Bullet: 225-grain Super Shock Tip (SST)
- Velocity Advantage: 100-200 fps faster than conventional ammunition
- Trajectory: Flatter shooting with reduced wind drift
Key Features
Superior Ballistics Without the Penalty
The innovation lies in Hornady's propellant technology. By accelerating the bullet longer through the barrel while maintaining normal pressure levels, Superformance delivers exceptional velocity gains without the corresponding increase in recoil or muzzle blast. This means you get flatter trajectories, better energy retention downrange, and improved accuracy—all without the punishment.
Reliable Across Conditions
Superformance ammunition performs consistently across a broad range of temperatures and is safe for use in all firearm types, including semi-automatic, lever-action, and pump-action rifles.
American Made Quality
Proudly manufactured in the USA, each round combines Hornady's legendary attention to detail with proven Super Shock Tip bullet technology for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance.
The Bottom Line
For hunters and shooters who demand maximum performance from their .338 Win. Mag., Superformance ammunition delivers genuine velocity and energy advantages without compromise. This is ammunition engineered for results.
Features
- achieves the highest performance of any ammunitinon on the market today with cutting edge technological advancement in ammunition design
- ultra progressive propellants, your favorite sst or gmx bullets achieve levels of performance that are simply unattainable with conventional propellants. in the past, shooters have used a brute force approach of using large charge weights of a slow burning powder in a larger cartridge case which ultimately this leads to more recoil and muzzle blast
