Hornady Lock-N-Load Speed Sabot 50 Cal 250gr SST
Hornady's premium muzzleloading sabots pair a .45 caliber 250-grain Super Shock Tip bullet with a sabot for centerfire-like performance. The polymer tip initiates expansion while the sabot design reduces recoil and extends effective range.
Centerfire Performance in a Muzzleloader
Hornady's Lock-N-Load Speed Sabot system represents a significant advancement in muzzleloading ammunition. By combining a .45 caliber 250-grain Super Shock Tip bullet with a precision sabot, these projectiles deliver ballistics and terminal performance previously reserved for modern centerfire rifles.
Key Features
- Sabot Design: Allows you to shoot a lighter caliber bullet (.45) through your .50 caliber muzzleloader, reducing recoil while maintaining velocity and energy
- Super Shock Tip: Premium polymer tip initiates reliable expansion on impact
- Low-Drag Profile: Streamlined design delivers flatter trajectories and superior accuracy at extended ranges
- Ballistic Coefficient: .210 BC for consistent, predictable flight
- Sectional Density: .175 SD ensures deep penetration and excellent weight retention
- Gilded Metal Construction: Reduces fouling for easier cleaning between shots
Terminal Performance
The combination of the polymer tip and sabot design creates a wide, deep wound channel. The bullet penetrates effectively, retains more of its original weight, and expands more aggressively than traditional muzzleloading projectiles—giving you the lethality and accuracy you expect from modern ammunition.
What You Get
Each box contains 10 rounds ready to load. These are ideal for hunters who demand the best performance from their muzzleloading rifles.
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)
