Hornady SST 30302 .308 Cal 150gr Super Shock Tip Bullets 100/Box

The Hornady SST 30302 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These .308 caliber 150-grain bullets feature the proven Super Shock Tip design that has become a standard among hunters seeking consistent terminal performance.

What Makes This Different

The Super Shock Tip technology combines a polymer tip with an InterLock ring to control expansion while maintaining bullet integrity. Unlike conventional soft-point bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the SST design ensures the core and jacket remain locked together during penetration. This controlled expansion creates larger wound channels while retaining enough mass for deep penetration on deer, elk, and similar game.

Key Features

• 150-grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield cartridges
• Polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities than hollow points
• InterLock ring mechanically locks core and jacket together
• Secant ogive boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient
• Cannelure provides consistent bullet seating and crimping
• 100 bullets per box with 15 boxes per case (1,500 total bullets)
• Diameter measures .308 inches with tight manufacturing tolerances

Field testing shows the SST maintains accuracy at extended ranges while delivering reliable expansion from 1,800 fps down to 1,600 fps impact velocities. The 150-grain weight strikes an optimal balance between flat trajectory and energy retention, making it suitable for whitetail deer at 300+ yards and larger game at closer ranges. Weather conditions have minimal effect on the polymer tip, maintaining consistent performance in temperature extremes.
