Hornady SST Projectiles

The Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) Projectiles are premium polymer-tipped hunting bullets designed to deliver flat trajectories, exceptional accuracy and dramatic terminal performance on medium to large game. Combining advanced ballistic design with proven hunting performance, the SST has become one of Hornady's most popular hunting projectiles and a favourite among reloaders worldwide.

Featuring a streamlined polymer tip and boat-tail design, the SST offers high ballistic coefficients, resulting in flatter trajectories, reduced wind drift and excellent retained energy at extended distances. The polymer tip also helps initiate rapid expansion upon impact, making the SST highly effective across a wide range of hunting scenarios.

At the core of the SST's performance is Hornady's proven InterLock® ring, which mechanically locks the lead core and copper jacket together. This helps maintain bullet integrity during expansion, improving weight retention and penetration while still producing large wound channels and effective energy transfer.

Designed for hunters who want a balance of long-range performance and rapid terminal effect, the SST delivers outstanding accuracy and reliable expansion on game ranging from goats and pigs through to large deer species.
