Hornady .50 Caliber SST Sabot Bullets
In the realm of black powder hunting, Hornady's .50 Caliber SST Sabot Bullets stand as a testament to innovation and performance. By integrating their Super Shock Tip (SST) technology with sabot design, Hornady has elevated muzzleloading to unprecedented levels. The combination allows for centerfire-like performance in your traditional muzzleloader.
The key lies in the bullet's construction. With a caliber/type of .50 Cal Speed Sabot and a diameter of .452 inches, these bullets weigh in at 250 grains. Their ballistic coefficient is rated at .210, while their sectional density stands at .175—figures that underscore their aerodynamic efficiency and penetrating power.
The polymer tip not only enhances velocity but also initiates expansion upon impact, creating wide wound channels for superior terminal performance. This results in better penetration and weight retention, reducing recoil without sacrificing lethality or accuracy.
Manufactured with gilded metal construction to minimize fouling, these projectiles ensure consistent shot-to-shot reliability. Packaged conveniently in boxes of 15 rounds, they are always ready when precision matters most.
For those who seek excellence on the hunt or target range alike, Hornady’s SST Sabot Bullets offer unparalleled accuracy coupled with ferocious stopping power—a true evolution beyond conventional black powder capabilities.
Features
- this line of black powder bullets raises the bar for muzzleloading performance to a height never dreamed before
- combining the super shock tip (sst) premium polymer tip with a sabot, hornady has truly brought centerfire performance to the black powder hunt. the sabot allows you to use a lighter caliber bullet for longer shots, while the sst point improves the ballistic coefficient for a faster, flatter flight. and, like the other sst bullets, the polymer tip initiates expansion on impact, giving these muzzleloading projectiles the ability to gouge a wide, deep wound channel for improved terminal performance
- shoot your muzzleloading rifle with less recoil, and deliver a projectile that penetrates better, retains more of its weight, and offers better sectional density (the ratio of the bullet's retained weight to its expanded diameter)
