The Hornady SST 338 caliber 200 grain rifle bullets are purpose-built for hunters who demand reliable performance on medium to large game. Combining a polymer tip with an InterLock core design, these boat tail spitzer bullets deliver the kind of consistent expansion and energy retention that separate ethical shots from wounded animals. Whether you're handloading for whitetail, mule deer, elk, or similar-sized game at typical hunting ranges, the SST gives you the ballistic efficiency and on-target accuracy that matter when it counts.
The polymer tip isn't just for looks—it improves the ballistic coefficient, helping your rounds shoot flatter and retain velocity downrange. On impact, that same tip initiates expansion in a controlled, predictable way. The InterLock ring keeps the jacket and core bonded through the expansion process, so the bullet retains enough mass and structural integrity to penetrate deeply and create a devastating wound channel. A cannelure around the case aids in consistent crimping and works with the InterLock system to manage how the bullet opens up, giving you repeatable results shot after shot.
Built on Hornady's proven boat tail, secant ogive profile, these bullets offer the speed and ballistic efficiency that translates to more energy at the point of impact. This box contains 100 bullets—enough for serious handloaders to develop loads and stock up for the season. If you're assembling ammunition for ethical, effective hunting, the SST 338 is a proven choice that won't let you down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the .338 200 grain SST suitable for?
The SST is designed for medium to large game including whitetail, mule deer, elk, and similar-sized North American and African plains game animals. The polymer tip and controlled expansion make it reliable across a range of hunting distances and velocities.
How does the InterLock ring improve bullet performance?
The InterLock ring bonds the jacket and core together during expansion, preventing separation and ensuring the bullet retains mass and energy. This controlled retention creates more consistent, deeper wound channels.
What's the advantage of the polymer tip?
The polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient, helping the bullet maintain velocity and energy downrange for a flatter trajectory. On impact, the tip also initiates expansion in a controlled, predictable manner.
Can I use these bullets for handloading?
Yes. This box of 100 bullets is designed for handloaders. The cannelure helps ensure consistent and accurate crimping as you assemble your loads.
