Hornady SST: Precision and Power Perfected
The Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) stands as a testament to modern ballistics innovation, crafted for hunters who demand performance that is both precise and powerful. This bullet delivers tremendous shock on impact, expanding quickly and reliably even at higher velocities. Its flat-shooting nature coupled with deadly accuracy makes it an ideal choice for whitetail deer as well as most North American game animals ranging from swift antelope to formidable moose, not forgetting the similarly sized African plains game.
The SST's design features are meticulously engineered for superiority in the field. With a caliber of 6.5mm and a weight of 129 grains, this bullet boasts a ballistic coefficient of .485 and a sectional density of .264—figures that speak volumes about its aerodynamic prowess.
- Polymer Tip: The sleek polymer tip enhances the ballistic coefficient, ensuring greater efficiency in flight. Upon impact, it initiates controlled expansion essential for creating devastatingly large wound channels.
- Secant Ogive Boattail Profile: Hunters understand that speed translates to power on target. This profile provides exceptional downrange energy by maximizing velocity retention.
- Tapered Jacket: Precision-controlled jacket thickness ensures optimal expansion across all velocities encountered during hunting scenarios.
- Cannelure & InterLock® Ring: These work in unison to maintain structural integrity upon impact. The cannelure secures consistent crimping while the raised InterLock® ring keeps core and jacket firmly united during expansion, preserving mass and energy crucial for effective penetration.
- One-Piece Core: Unlike divided cores which may separate under stress, this solid construction guarantees retained mass throughout its trajectory into vital areas.
The Hornady SST isn't merely ammunition; it's an assurance—a promise—that each shot fired will meet your expectations with relentless reliability whether you're stalking through dense woods or scanning wide-open plains.
