Hornady SST-ML 50 Cal. 300 gr. Low Drag Sabot Bullets
Hornady's SST-ML saboted bullets bring centerfire performance to muzzleloading. The polymer-tipped .45 caliber projectile delivers superior ballistics, deeper penetration, and controlled expansion for long-range black powder hunting.
Centerfire Performance in a Muzzleloader
Hornady's SST-ML saboted bullets represent a significant advancement in black powder hunting ammunition. By pairing a .45 caliber Super Shock Tip bullet with a .50 caliber sabot, these projectiles deliver the terminal performance and ballistic efficiency traditionally reserved for modern centerfire rifles.
Design and Performance Features
Superior Ballistics
- Low drag design with ballistic coefficient of .250
- Sectional density of .210 for improved penetration and weight retention
- Flatter trajectory and faster velocity compared to traditional round balls
Controlled Expansion
- Flex Tip polymer initiates expansion upon impact
- Controlled fragmentation minimizes energy waste
- Deeper penetration with superior weight retention
Reliable Sabot Engagement
- Sabot fully engages rifling for consistent centering and sealing
- Fumble-free pre-loading design for quick ammunition preparation
- Sabot separates cleanly upon exit for unobstructed bullet flight
Practical Advantages
These 300-grain bullets allow you to shoot with less recoil while delivering a projectile that penetrates deeper and retains more of its original weight. The result is a wider, deeper wound channel and improved terminal performance—exactly what serious black powder hunters demand.
Each box contains 20 rounds, providing ample ammunition for practice and hunting seasons alike.
Features
- this line of black powder bullets raises the bar for muzzleloading performance to a height never dreamed before
- combining the super shock tip (sst) premium polymer tip with a sabot, hornady has truly brought centerfire performance to the black powder hunt. the sabot allows you to use a lighter caliber bullet for longer shots, while the sst point improves the ballistic coefficient for a faster, flatter flight. and, like the other sst bullets, the polymer tip initiates expansion on impact, giving these muzzleloading projectiles the ability to gouge a wide, deep wound channel for improved terminal performance
- shoot your muzzleloading rifle with less recoil, and deliver a projectile that penetrates better, retains more of its weight, and offers better sectional density (the ratio of the bullet's retained weight to its expanded diameter)
- available in sst ld, monof ld
- available in 250gr., 300gr.
