Hornady SST 270 Cal .277 130gr Super Shock Tip Bullets 100/Box

The Hornady SST 270 caliber bullets deliver exceptional expansion and penetration for medium to large game hunting. These 130-grain Super Shock Tip projectiles feature Hornady's proven polymer tip technology that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity through bone and tissue.

What Makes This Different

The SST (Super Shock Tip) design combines a polymer tip with an InterLock ring that mechanically locks the core and jacket together. This prevents separation during expansion, ensuring 50-60% weight retention compared to standard soft point bullets that often lose 30-40% of their mass. The secant ogive profile reduces drag and increases ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories at extended ranges.

Key Features

• 130-grain weight optimized for .270 Winchester and similar cartridges
• Polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps
• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation during impact
• Secant ogive design improves ballistic coefficient to .408
• Cannelure provides consistent bullet seating and crimp retention
• Gilding metal jacket ensures reliable feeding and extraction
• 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions

Field performance shows consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion across impact velocities from 1,600 to 3,000 fps. The controlled expansion makes these bullets effective for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. Terminal performance remains predictable in both high-velocity magnum cartridges and standard .270 Winchester loads.
