Hornady 27352 SST .270 Win 140 Gr Super Shock Tip

The Hornady SST, or Super Shock Tip, is a bullet that embodies the principles of terminal ballistics with precision and power. Designed for those who demand performance from their ammunition, this projectile delivers devastating impact through rapid expansion at higher velocities. Its flat trajectory and pinpoint accuracy make it an exceptional choice for hunting North American game such as whitetail deer, antelope, moose, and even African plains game of similar size.

Key to its prowess in the field is the SST's polymer tip. This feature not only enhances ballistic efficiency by increasing the coefficient but also initiates controlled expansion upon target contact. The result? A large wound channel capable of delivering humane kills swiftly.

The bullet's secant ogive boattail profile further contributes to its aerodynamic design—allowing it to travel faster and hit harder over greater distances. Hunters will appreciate the downrange energy retention which translates into more effective results when engaging targets at various ranges.

Additionally, Hornady has integrated a cannelure groove within the design which ensures precise crimping consistency while working seamlessly with their InterLock ring system. This technology keeps both core and jacket securely bonded during expansion so that maximum mass retention is achieved—a critical factor in maintaining energy transfer to your quarry.

With a caliber type of 270 Caliber SST®, diameter measuring .277 inches, weight set at 140 grains, and boasting a ballistic coefficient of .495 along with sectional density calculated at .261—the Hornady SST stands as an exemplar among modern hunting projectiles offering reliability where it counts most: out there on your hunt.
