The Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet stands as a testament to modern ballistic engineering, crafted for those who demand precision and power in their ammunition. This projectile is designed with an eye towards delivering devastating impact and reliable expansion at higher velocities—a necessity when pursuing game across the varied terrains of North America or the African plains.
The SST's hallmark feature is its sleek polymer tip, which not only enhances its aerodynamic profile by increasing the ballistic coefficient but also initiates controlled expansion upon contact. This design ensures that each shot you take hits harder and travels faster, providing hunters with both speed and energy efficiency downrange.
A defining characteristic of this bullet lies in its secant ogive boattail profile. By optimizing air resistance during flight, it maintains velocity over longer distances—ideal for flat shooting scenarios where accuracy cannot be compromised.
The structural integrity of the Hornady SST is further reinforced through innovative elements like inner grooves that strategically weaken the upper section of the jacket for dependable expansion across all velocities. The tapered jacket thickness has been meticulously engineered to ensure such performance without fail.
Critical to maintaining mass retention upon impact is Hornady’s proprietary InterLock® system—a raised ring embedded within a one-piece core that refuses separation common in divided cores. Coupled with a cannelure, this system provides consistent crimping while controlling bullet expansion effectively.
This combination results not just in predictable performance but also creates large wound channels necessary for ethical harvesting of game from whitetails to moose-sized targets. With every aspect finely tuned—from weight distribution to sectional density—the Hornady SST positions itself as an indispensable ally in your hunting endeavors."
