Hornady SST 6.5mm .264 129gr Super Shock Tip Bullets - 100ct

The Hornady SST 6.5mm .264 129 grain Super Shock Tip bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These polymer-tipped projectiles feature Hornady's proven SST design that combines match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal performance.

What Makes This Different

The Super Shock Tip design utilizes a red polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together. This construction prevents core-jacket separation that plagues conventional soft point bullets. The secant ogive profile and boat tail base deliver superior ballistic coefficients compared to flat-base hunting bullets, maintaining velocity and energy downrange.

Key Features

• 129 grain weight optimized for 6.5mm cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Remington
• Red polymer tip initiates controlled expansion at velocities from 1,600 to 3,000+ fps
• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation for 85-90% weight retention
• Secant ogive profile with boat tail base for enhanced ballistic coefficient
• Cannelured shank provides consistent bullet seating and crimp retention
• Match-grade construction delivers sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles
• 100 bullets per box, 15 boxes per case for volume reloaders

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion across impact velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps. The controlled expansion creates a large wound channel while retaining sufficient mass for deep penetration on elk, deer, and similar game. These bullets perform effectively in temperature extremes and maintain accuracy standards required for long-range hunting applications.
