Hornady SST 30 Cal .308 125gr Super Shock Tip Bullets 100/Box

The Hornady SST 30 caliber .308 diameter 125 grain bullets deliver devastating terminal performance through proven polymer tip technology. These Super Shock Tip projectiles expand reliably at velocities ranging from 1,600 to 3,400 fps, making them effective across multiple cartridge applications from .30-30 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum.

What Makes This Different

The SST's polymer tip initiates controlled expansion while the secant ogive boat tail design maintains velocity and accuracy downrange. Unlike traditional soft point bullets that can deform during feeding, the SST's streamlined profile feeds smoothly in semi-automatic rifles. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion for deeper penetration than conventional hunting bullets.

Key Features

• 125 grain weight optimized for flat trajectory and rapid expansion
• Polymer tip prevents deformation and initiates expansion on impact
• Secant ogive boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient
• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation
• Cannelure provides consistent bullet seating depth
• Lead core with gilding metal jacket construction
• Compatible with .308 diameter rifle cartridges

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion at impact velocities above 1,800 fps. The 125 grain weight excels in medium game hunting applications where rapid expansion and energy transfer are priorities. These bullets maintain accuracy in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles, with many loads achieving sub-MOA groups when properly developed.
