Special Features

• Hard polymer tip drives into the lead core like a wedge on impact, initiating lightning-fast, controlled expansion that creates a large, devastating wound channel while the InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation throughout the terminal phase.
• InterLock ring mechanically locks the jacket and core together during expansion, maintaining bullet integrity and maximizing weight retention for deep, reliable penetration on large and heavy-bodied game animals.
• Secant ogive boattail profile combines a tapered point, increased bearing surface, and aerodynamic form to produce a flatter trajectory, reduced drag, and greater in-flight stability compared to conventional cup and core hunting bullet designs.
• Precisely tapered jacket controls expansion at high velocity while promoting reliable upset at lower impact velocities, making the SST dependable across the full family of 30 caliber hunting cartridges.
• Cannelure works in combination with the InterLock ring to keep core and jacket together and provides a consistent, accurate crimp location during the loading process.

Practical Benefits

• The .480 G1 BC delivers a flat, wind-resistant trajectory that extends your effective range on elk, moose, mule deer, black bear, and similar large game well past 300 yards without excessive holdover.
• Compatible with 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, 300 Winchester Magnum, 300 WSM, 300 PRC, and the full family of 30 caliber hunting cartridges, making the SST (30702) one of the most versatile hunting components available.
• The 180 grain weight adds sectional density and momentum over lighter 30 caliber options, making it the stronger choice when hunting elk, moose, and heavy black bear where deep penetration through bone and muscle matters most.
• For the reloader building a proven 30 caliber hunting load, your powder selection and seating depth work with the Hornady SST (30702) translates directly into the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance that puts large game on the ground cleanly.
