The Hornady SST 270 Winchester 150 grain bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. These Super Shock Tip projectiles combine proven ballistic coefficients with reliable expansion to maximize both range and stopping power.
What Makes This Different
The patented Super Shock Tip design features a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency throughout flight. Unlike traditional soft point bullets that can deform during feeding, the SST maintains its ballistic profile and delivers consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation even at high velocities exceeding 3,000 fps.
Key Features
- 150 grain weight optimized for 270 Winchester cartridge performance
- Polymer tip initiates expansion and improves ballistic coefficient to .496
- InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation at all velocities
- Secant ogive boat-tail design reduces drag and wind drift
- Cannelured shank ensures proper bullet seating and crimping
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
- Compatible with standard 270 Win chamber specifications
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifle platforms when properly loaded. The 150 grain weight provides optimal sectional density for deer, elk, and similar game animals at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. Retained velocity remains sufficient for reliable expansion even at extended distances where lighter bullets lose effectiveness.
