Hornady 33202 .338 Caliber 225 Grain Super Shock Tip Ammunition

In the realm of precision shooting, Hornady has carved a niche with its SST Bullets, specifically engineered for black powder muzzleloading rifles. These projectiles are not just another component in your ammunition cache; they represent a commitment to quality and performance that is synonymous with the Hornady name.

At the heart of these bullets lies their .338 caliber design, weighing in at 225 grains. This ensures optimal balance between speed and impact power—a critical factor when engaging targets at long range. The ballistic coefficient stands at an impressive .515, indicating superior aerodynamic efficiency which translates into flatter trajectories and greater retained velocity downrange.

A noteworthy feature is the polymer tip which enhances this bullet's ballistic coefficient even further by reducing drag during flight. This sleek addition complements the secant ogive boattail profile, allowing it to slice through air resistance with minimal effort—faster travel results in harder hits upon impact.

Further enhancing functionality is the cannelure groove on each bullet. It allows for precise crimping while working seamlessly with Hornady’s InterLock® ring system to ensure that both core and jacket remain unified throughout expansion phases—critical for maintaining structural integrity upon target engagement.

Designed also as part of a low-drag sabot system, these bullets offer ease of loading without sacrificing accuracy or consistency. Upon exiting the muzzle, this sabot immediately falls away ensuring unrestricted flight path from start to finish—a testament to meticulous engineering aimed at maximizing penetration while minimizing fragmentation potential.

With such features meticulously integrated into every aspect of its design, Hornady SST Bullets stand out as an exemplary choice for shooters seeking enhanced performance over extended distances.
