Introducing the Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST), a bullet engineered for those who demand performance and reliability in their hunting ammunition. This .338 caliber projectile, weighing in at 200 grains, is meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional impact and expansion, making it an ideal choice for hunters pursuing game from whitetails to moose.
The design of the SST begins with its distinctive polymer tip. Not only does this feature enhance the ballistic coefficient by streamlining airflow over the bullet's surface, but upon impact, it also initiates controlled expansion. The result is a devastatingly large wound channel that maximizes stopping power.
Complementing the polymer tip is Hornady’s secant ogive boattail profile. This aerodynamic shape ensures flat shooting and superior downrange energy retention—key elements for any hunter aiming to hit targets accurately over longer distances. It's simple: bullets that travel faster hit harder.
A cannelure groove adds another layer of precision by providing accurate crimping capabilities while working harmoniously with Hornady’s InterLock® ring system. This innovative feature locks the core and jacket together during expansion, ensuring maximum mass retention and consistent energy transfer upon impact.
With a sectional density of .250 and a ballistic coefficient of .455, every shot fired promises lethality combined with superb accuracy—a testament to Hornady's commitment to excellence in ammunition manufacturing.
