Hornady SST .270 Caliber 130 Grain Bullets

Hornady SST .270 Caliber Bullets: Purpose-Built for Game

The Hornady SST—short for Super Shock Tip—represents decades of hunting bullet refinement. These .277" diameter, 130-grain projectiles are engineered to perform at the velocities modern rifles deliver, combining speed with controlled, devastating expansion.

Design Features That Matter

Polymer Tip Technology The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and more retained energy downrange, and it initiates controlled expansion upon impact. This means your shots stay on target at distance and perform reliably when they arrive.

Secant Ogive Boattail Profile Hornady's proven boattail design reduces drag and improves aerodynamic efficiency. The result is the speed and ballistic performance hunters demand—faster bullets hit harder and carry more energy to the target.

InterLock Ring This mechanical lock ensures the bullet's core and jacket remain bonded throughout expansion. The result is a devastatingly large wound channel with retained mass and energy, critical for clean, ethical kills on game.

Cannelure The crimping groove provides consistent seating in reloaded ammunition and works in concert with the InterLock ring to control expansion characteristics.

The Right Bullet for Your Hunt

The SST excels on whitetail deer and performs admirably on larger North American game—antelope, elk, moose—and similar-sized African plains game. Flat shooting, deadly accurate, and reliable: the SST is a hunter's bullet.
