Hornady SST 30 Cal .308 180gr Super Shock Tip Bullets (100ct)

The Hornady SST 30702 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for hunters demanding consistent terminal performance. This 180-grain Super Shock Tip bullet combines the accuracy of a match bullet with the devastating terminal performance needed for medium to large game.

What Makes This Different

The patented Super Shock Tip design features a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact while the InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together. Unlike conventional soft point bullets that can separate or fragment unpredictably, the SST maintains 95% weight retention for maximum energy transfer. The secant ogive profile and boat tail base deliver a ballistic coefficient of .475, significantly outperforming traditional flat-base hunting bullets.

Key Features

• 180-grain weight optimized for .30-06, .308 Winchester, and .300 Winchester Magnum
• Polymer Super Shock Tip initiates expansion at velocities down to 1,600 fps
• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation during expansion
• Secant ogive profile with boat tail base for superior ballistic coefficient
• Cannelured shank ensures proper bullet seating and crimp retention
• Lead core with tapered jacket design for controlled expansion
• 100 bullets per box with consistent weight tolerance of ±0.3 grains

Field testing shows the SST 180-grain maintains over 1,800 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards when fired from a .30-06 Springfield. The controlled expansion creates wound channels 1.5 to 2 times bullet diameter while retaining enough mass for complete penetration on elk-sized game. Temperature stability remains consistent from -20°F to 125°F, making it reliable across diverse hunting conditions.
