Hornady Superformance 338 Winchester Magnum (82233) delivers 225 grain SST bullets engineered for flat trajectory, deep penetration, and reliable expansion on medium to large game at extended ranges. This premium hunting ammunition combines proven polymer-tipped projectile design with Superformance propellant technology to achieve maximum velocity without increased chamber pressure, making it an excellent choice for elk, moose, bear, and other big game hunters who need confidence at distance.
Key Features
- Manufacturer Part Number: 82233
- Caliber: 338 Winchester Magnum
- Bullet Weight: 225 grains
- Bullet Type: SST Super Shock Tip
- Quantity: 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case
- Superformance propellant system increases velocity 100 to 200 fps over conventional loads
- Secant ogive boat tail design reduces drag and flattens trajectory
- Polymer tip improves ballistic coefficient and initiates controlled expansion on impact
- InterLock ring mechanically locks core and jacket together for weight retention
Special Features
- Superformance powder technology uses progressive propellants that are safe in all firearms and deliver velocity gains without excessive pressure or temperature sensitivity
- SST polymer tip is aerodynamically designed to resist deformation in the magazine and maintain accuracy in flight
- InterLock construction prevents core and jacket separation during penetration through heavy bone and tissue
- Secant ogive profile improves downrange energy retention and reduces wind drift compared to traditional bullet shapes
- Hornady brass cases are built for consistency and can be reloaded multiple times for shooters who handload
Practical Benefits
- 225 grain bullet weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on heavy game while maintaining flatter trajectory than heavier bullets
- Increased velocity from Superformance propellant extends effective range and reduces holdover calculations for hunters shooting at 300 yards and beyond
- Polymer tip ensures rapid expansion even at lower impact velocities encountered at longer distances
- Suitable for elk hunting in open country, moose hunting in timber, and bear hunting where penetration and energy transfer are critical
- Works well in standard 338 Winchester Magnum rifles without requiring specialized throating or custom chambers
- Consistent accuracy and velocity make this ammunition ideal for sighting in and field use with the same point of impact
- 20 round box quantity allows hunters to verify zero and practice field positions without purchasing excessive amounts
The Hornady Superformance 338 Winchester Magnum 225 grain SST (82233) is a proven platform for serious big game hunting.
