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 .495 G1 BC gives you a bullet that holds velocity deep into its trajectory, bucks wind effectively, and delivers full energy to the target on whitetail, mule deer, elk, pronghorn, and similar game well past 300 yards.
- Compatible with 270 Winchester, 270 WSM, 270 Weatherby Magnum, and 6.8 Western, making the SST (27352) a versatile hunting component across the full 270 caliber family.
- The 140 grain weight adds sectional density and momentum over the classic 130 grain option, making it the stronger choice when hunting elk and black bear where deeper penetration through heavy bone and muscle matters.
- For the reloader building a proven 270 caliber hunting load, your powder selection and seating depth work with the Hornady SST (27352) translates directly into the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance that puts game on the ground cleanly.
The Hornady SST (27352) 270 Cal .277 diameter 140 grain is a dependable option for the experienced reloader and big game hunter who wants a polymer-tipped boattail hunting bullet that shoots flat, expands fast, and delivers reliable shock and penetration on any North American game animal.
