The Hornady Custom 308 Winchester 150-grain Super Shock Tip ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for hunters demanding consistent expansion and deep penetration. This precision-loaded cartridge combines Hornady's proven SST bullet technology with carefully selected powder charges to maximize accuracy across hunting distances.
What Makes This Different
The Super Shock Tip bullet features a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact while the secant ogive profile maintains aerodynamic efficiency downrange. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding or lose velocity quickly, the SST design preserves bullet integrity and delivers flatter trajectories. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion for maximum weight retention.
Key Features
- 150-grain Super Shock Tip bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
- InterLock ring technology prevents core-jacket separation
- Secant ogive profile reduces drag for flatter trajectories
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Select powders matched to bullet weight for optimal performance
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications
Field testing demonstrates excellent performance on medium game at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The 150-grain weight provides ideal balance between velocity and penetration for deer-sized game. Weather-sealed primers ensure reliable ignition in adverse conditions, while the boat-tail design maintains stability in crosswinds. Multiple rifle platforms show consistent sub-MOA accuracy when paired with quality optics.
