Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr SST

The Hornady 264 Cal 6.5mm 140gr SST (Super Shock Tip) is a high-performance hunting bullet designed to combine flat-shooting trajectories, deadly accuracy, and devastating terminal performance. Built specifically for hunters who demand deep penetration and rapid expansion, this bullet is an exceptional choice for whitetail deer, antelope, elk, moose, and other similarly sized North American and African game animals.

This bullet is optimized for high-velocity cartridges and performs reliably across a wide range of impact speeds. At the heart of the SST’s design is Hornady’s proprietary polymer tip. The tip initiates controlled expansion upon contact, ensuring the bullet delivers maximum energy transfer at the moment of impact. This makes the 140gr SST ideal for producing large, traumatic wound channels for quick, ethical kills.

The secant ogive profile, a Hornady innovation, reduces drag while maintaining excellent flight stability. The bullet’s boattail base enhances aerodynamic efficiency, increasing retained velocity and improving long-range accuracy. These features together give shooters the ability to stretch their range with confidence while maintaining consistent performance downrange.

POLYMER TIP
The hard polymer tip wedges into the core on impact, initiating rapid expansion while helping to streamline the bullet’s flight profile for flatter trajectories.

SECANT OGIVE, BOATTAIL PROFILE
A proven aerodynamic design that reduces drag and wind drift, providing enhanced stability and a flatter trajectory—especially important for long-range hunters.

CANNELURE
The strategically placed mid-body cannelure reinforces core-jacket integrity and ensures a uniform, secure crimp during cartridge assembly.

INTERLOCK® RING
Hornady’s signature mechanical locking ring keeps the core and jacket together during high-velocity expansion, maintaining weight retention for deeper penetration and increased pass-through potential.

Whether you’re targeting big game in open country or wooded terrain, the Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST delivers consistent and devastating results. It’s a trusted option for handloaders who prioritize accuracy, velocity, and terminal effectiveness in a reliable hunting bullet.
