In the realm of precision and stopping power, the Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) ammunition stands as a formidable ally for hunters seeking excellence in the field. Engineered to deliver exceptional shock upon impact, this round is designed with rapid and reliable expansion at higher velocities, making it an ideal choice for whitetails and various North American game animals—from antelope to moose—as well as comparable African plains game.
The SST's defining feature is its sleek polymer tip. This component not only enhances ballistic efficiency by increasing the bullet's coefficient but also initiates controlled expansion upon contact. The result is a devastatingly large wound channel that maximizes lethality.
Further enhancing its performance is the secant ogive boattail profile. Acknowledging that speed translates into greater impact force, Hornady has crafted these bullets to offer both high velocity and impressive downrange energy—traits highly sought after by discerning hunters.
An additional highlight of this ammunition is its cannelure design. It ensures precise crimping while collaborating with the InterLock ring to maintain consistent expansion control. The Interlock Ring itself plays a crucial role in ensuring that during expansion, both core and jacket remain securely bonded together, preserving mass and delivering sustained energy where it's needed most.
For those who demand reliability without compromise in their hunting endeavors, Hornady SST ammunition provides unmatched accuracy coupled with deadly effectiveness—a testament to superior engineering tailored for serious sportsmen.
