<\/p>\nIn only seven decades, Hornady grew from little more than a man with a dream and a war surplus transfer press to one of America\u2019s leading bullet and loaded ammunition manufacturers. The Super Shock Tip (SST) is one of Hornady\u2019s preeminent hunting bullets. Available in a variety of calibers and weights and often featured in Hornady\u2019s factory loaded ammo, an SST is able to quickly and humanely anchor game ranging from prairie dogs to African buffalo.<\/p>\n

The SST delivers the accurate ballistic performance that a hunting bullet must to reliably find its target. The bullet features a secant ogive profile, a streamlined geometry that measurably lowers drag to increase the SST\u2019s velocity and available energy to transfer downrange. The bullet\u2019s ballistic coefficient is further amplified by its boat tail, a tapered base that better immunizes the SST against the influence of cross and vertical winds.<\/p>\n

Like any other jacketed Hornady bullet, the SST offers a uniformly distributed lead core and gilding metal jacket with virtually zero deviation in concentricity. Why does that physics stuff matter? Well, those features keep the SST balanced in flight as it keeps a steady course toward your trophy.<\/p>\n
The SST\u2019s profile is streamlined even further by its sharp, centered, and symmetrical red polymer tip. The tip sits on the rim of the SST\u2019s jacket and extends downward into a precision formed cavity within its core. Upon impact the SST\u2019s tip wedges into the core to commence virtually instantaneous yet uniform, controlled expansion.<\/p>\n
