The Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) is a masterwork of ballistic engineering, crafted to deliver unparalleled performance when it matters most. Chambered in the versatile .270 caliber and weighing in at 150 grains, this bullet is tailored for serious hunters who demand both speed and precision.
At its core, the SST's innovative design features a sleek polymer tip that significantly enhances its ballistic coefficient. This means greater efficiency and accuracy over long distances, ensuring your shot lands exactly where intended. Upon impact, the polymer tip initiates controlled expansion—crucial for creating devastating wound channels that make quick work of whitetails or larger game such as moose and African plains animals.
The secant ogive boattail profile further refines this projectile’s aerodynamic prowess. As any seasoned shooter knows: velocity breeds power; faster bullets hit harder with more energy downrange. The enhanced shape not only improves flight stability but also maximizes retained energy upon reaching the target.
A cannelure groove provides reliable crimping—a feature that works harmoniously with Hornady’s renowned InterLock ring technology to maintain structural integrity during expansion. This ensures that both core and jacket remain firmly bonded throughout penetration, delivering consistent terminal performance every time you pull the trigger.
With a formidable sectional density of .279 and an impressive ballistic coefficient of .525, each round offers superior penetration capabilities along with remarkable stopping power designed to tackle North America's diverse game species efficiently.
In essence: When outfitted with Hornady's SST ammunition, you're armed not just with rounds but confidence—confidence born from meticulous craftsmanship aimed squarely at unwavering reliability under pressure.
