Hornady SST .270 Caliber 140 Grain Bullets

Hornady SST: Purpose-Built for Hunting Performance

The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) represents decades of hunting bullet engineering. Designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably—particularly at higher velocities—this .270 caliber round is equally at home on whitetail deer or larger North American game animals.

Key Features

Polymer Tip Design

• Increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange
• Initiates controlled expansion upon impact
• Sleek profile reduces wind drift

Secant Ogive Boattail Profile

• Optimized for speed and ballistic efficiency
• Delivers the downrange energy hunters demand
• Faster bullets hit harder—a fundamental principle of terminal ballistics

InterLock Ring

• Locks core and jacket together during expansion
• Prevents jacket separation and core fragmentation
• Ensures the bullet retains mass for deep penetration and devastating wound channels

Cannelure

• Provides accurate and consistent crimping
• Works in concert with the InterLock ring to control expansion rates

Ballistic Specifications

• Caliber: .270 Winchester
• Diameter: .277"

Ideal Applications

Flat shooting and deadly accurate, the SST excels on whitetail deer, antelope, and larger North American game animals up to moose. It also performs admirably on similar-sized African plains game. Whether you're hunting open country or timber, this bullet delivers the performance serious hunters expect.
