Hornady 30702 .308 180 Grain Super Shock Tip Ammunition

Hornady SST: Precision and Power Redefined

The Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) is a testament to the art of bullet engineering, designed for those who demand precision and power from their ammunition. Engineered to deliver tremendous shock on impact, this projectile expands quickly and reliably, particularly at higher velocities. Such characteristics make it not only flat-shooting but also deadly accurate—qualities that are indispensable when hunting whitetails or any North American game animals ranging from antelope to moose. The SST is equally adept at taking down similar-sized African plains game.

This bullet's prowess begins with its caliber/type of 30 Caliber SST®, boasting a diameter of .308 inches and weighing in at 180 grains. With a ballistic coefficient of .480 and a sectional density of .271, the Hornady SST promises superior aerodynamic efficiency and penetration.

At the forefront of its design is the sleek polymer tip. This feature increases the ballistic coefficient significantly while initiating controlled expansion upon impact—a critical factor for delivering energy precisely where it's needed most. The secant ogive boattail profile further enhances speed, ballistic efficiency, and downrange energy transfer; after all, bullets that travel faster hit harder.

The cannelure provides accurate crimping consistency while working harmoniously with the InterLock® ring to maintain structural integrity during expansion. This ensures that both core and jacket remain locked solidly together so that maximum mass retention translates into dramatic wound channels every time you pull the trigger.

In sum, whether you're stalking through dense forests or scanning open plains, trust in Hornady's SST to execute each shot with unparalleled accuracy and devastating effectiveness.
