The Hornady SST 338 caliber bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These 200-grain Super Shock Tip projectiles feature Hornady's polymer tip technology that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity at impact.
What Makes This Different
The SST design combines a polymer tip with Hornady's Interlock ring system to prevent core-jacket separation during expansion. Unlike traditional soft point bullets, the polymer tip creates a more aerodynamic profile for flatter trajectory and improved long-range accuracy. The secant ogive profile reduces drag while the boat tail base design maintains stability throughout flight.Key Features
- 200-grain weight optimized for .338 Winchester Magnum and similar cartridges
- Polymer tip initiates controlled expansion at velocities from 1,600-3,000 fps
- Interlock ring mechanically locks core to jacket preventing separation
- Secant ogive profile with boat tail base for superior ballistic coefficient
- Cannelure groove provides consistent crimp and bullet seating depth
- Lead core construction with tapered jacket for weight retention
- 100 bullets per box, 15 boxes per case for bulk loading
