Hornady SST 30 Caliber 150 Grain InterLock Polymer Tip Spitzer Boat Tail Bullets - Box of 100

Hornady SST 30 caliber rifle bullets deliver reliable expansion and energy retention across a wide range of hunting scenarios. Built for reloaders targeting medium to large game, the SST (Super Shock Tip) line pairs controlled performance with downrange ballistics that keep your shots effective at extended distances. Each box of 100 rounds gives you the core components for consistent, accurate hunting loads whether you're working up ammunition for whitetail, elk, or similar-sized game.

The 150-grain SST in .30 caliber uses a polymer tip that serves double duty: it improves ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and energy retention, and it initiates controlled expansion upon impact. This design helps create reliable wound channels while the InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket bonded throughout the expansion process, preserving bullet weight and energy. A cannelure supports both crimp consistency and the InterLock mechanism, giving reloaders a bullet engineered for both precision and terminal performance.

The secant ogive boattail profile is where Hornady's engineering philosophy shows—faster-traveling bullets retain more downrange energy, and this profile maximizes ballistic efficiency for the caliber and weight class. That translates to better performance on distant shots and in situations where velocity naturally drops. Whether you reload for a bolt action, semi-auto, or lever gun, the SST is a proven hunting bullet backed by real-world field results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is the 30 caliber 150-grain SST suitable for?

The 150-grain SST is designed for medium to large game including whitetail deer, antelope, moose, and similar-sized animals. Hornady also notes it works on comparable African plains game.

How does the polymer tip affect bullet performance?

The polymer tip increases the bullet's ballistic coefficient, which improves efficiency and downrange energy retention. Upon impact, the tip initiates controlled expansion to create reliable wound channels.

What is the InterLock ring and why does it matter?

The InterLock ring mechanically bonds the bullet's core and jacket. This keeps them locked together during expansion, so the bullet retains more of its original weight and energy—resulting in deeper penetration and larger wound channels.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 100 unprimed, unpowdered bullets ready for your reloading press and components.
