Hornady 30 Cal 165gr SST

The Hornady 30 Cal 165gr SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet is built for hunters who demand accuracy and performance at extended ranges. Designed for rifles using .308″ diameter projectiles, this bullet delivers rapid expansion and deep penetration, making it a top-tier choice for whitetails and larger game animals such as elk, antelope, and moose. With its flat trajectory and outstanding weight retention, the 165gr SST is engineered for clean, ethical harvests across a wide variety of environments.

At its core, the SST blends Hornady’s most effective ballistic features with reliable terminal performance. Its streamlined profile and advanced polymer tip design ensure it remains stable in flight while maximizing shock and tissue disruption upon impact.

POLYMER TIP
The patented polymer tip initiates expansion on impact by driving into the lead core. This creates devastating wound channels and delivers consistent results even at extended distances.

SECANT OGIVE, BOATTAIL PROFILE
Hornady’s optimized ogive geometry and tapered boattail base improve flight characteristics, reduce drag, and stabilize the bullet, ensuring accurate hits even under variable field conditions.

CANNELURE
A mid-body cannelure allows for uniform crimping and strengthens the bullet’s ability to stay intact during penetration.

INTERLOCK® RING
The embedded InterLock ring mechanically binds the core and jacket together, helping the bullet maintain its structural integrity and retain weight during expansion.

Whether you’re hunting in dense hardwoods or open country, this .30 caliber SST bullet provides the accuracy and stopping power needed to bring game down quickly and humanely.
