Hornady SST .308 180gr Bullets 30702

Hornady SST Super Shock Tip Bullets

The Hornady SST represents a refined approach to big-game hunting ammunition. Engineered for hunters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance, these .308 180-grain bullets combine proven design principles with modern materials science.

Key Features

Polymer Tip Design The sleek polymer tip serves dual purposes: it increases the ballistic coefficient for superior downrange velocity and energy retention, while also initiating controlled expansion upon impact. This means flatter trajectories and more consistent performance at extended ranges.

Secant Ogive Boattail Profile The aerodynamic profile reduces drag and allows these bullets to maintain velocity better than conventional designs. Faster bullets hit harder—a fundamental principle that Hornady has engineered into every SST.

InterLock Ring This proprietary feature locks the bullet's core and jacket together during expansion, preventing separation and ensuring the bullet retains mass for deep penetration and devastating wound channels.

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

Performance and Application

The SST excels on a wide range of game. It's an ideal choice for whitetail deer, but its performance envelope extends to larger North American species including elk, moose, and similar-sized African plains game. The combination of flat shooting characteristics and reliable expansion makes it equally suitable for antelope hunting.
