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 medium and large game.
- 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 270 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 polymer tip raises the ballistic coefficient above standard soft point designs of the same weight, giving you a bullet that shoots flatter, bucks wind better, and carries more energy to the target on whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, elk, and similar game.
- Compatible with 270 Winchester, 270 WSM, and 270 Weatherby Magnum, making the SST (27302) a versatile hunting component across the full 270 caliber family.
- The controlled expansion design produces a large wound channel that leads to fast, clean harvests whether the shot comes at 75 yards in timber or stretches well past 300 yards across open terrain.
- For the reloader building a proven 270 caliber hunting load, your powder and seating depth work with the Hornady SST (27302) translates directly into the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance that puts game on the ground cleanly.
The Hornady SST (27302) 270 Cal .277 diameter 130 grain is a reliable pick for the experienced reloader and big game hunter who wants a polymer-tipped, boattail hunting bullet that shoots flat, expands fast, and delivers the shock and penetration needed for clean, ethical harvests on any North American game animal.
