Hornady SST Ammo For Sale
Overview of Hornady SST Ammo
Hornady’s SST (Super Shock Tip) ammunition is engineered for high-velocity, flat-shooting performance and devastating terminal ballistics. It features a polymer-tipped bullet designed to initiate rapid expansion upon impact, making it a favorite among hunters targeting deer-sized game and beyond. With its streamlined profile and boat tail base, SST ammo excels at maintaining energy and accuracy at extended ranges.
Designed for Devastating Expansion
The SST bullet uses Hornady’s InterLock® ring to keep the core and jacket together after impact, ensuring deep penetration while maximizing trauma. The polymer tip acts like a wedge to initiate controlled expansion—ideal for medium to large game where fast energy transfer is critical. Whether you're using it in a bolt-action or a semi-auto platform, SST delivers consistent results in the field.
Popular Applications and Calibers
Hornady offers SST loads in a variety of calibers, including popular hunting rounds like .243 Win, .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .30-06.

I use my AR10 308 for whitetail deer hunting. I love and trust all of Hornady’s bullets for their engineering and each individual bullet style intent. Do your homework and get the right one for what game you are shooting.
