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 30 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, elk, moose, and similar game.
• Compatible with 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield, 300 Winchester Magnum, 300 WSM, 300 PRC, and the full family of 30 caliber hunting cartridges, making the SST (30452) one of the most versatile hunting components available.
• The controlled expansion design produces a large wound channel that leads to fast, clean harvests whether your shot comes at 75 yards in timber or stretches well past 300 yards across open terrain.
• For the reloader building a proven 30 caliber hunting load, your powder selection and seating depth work with the Hornady SST (30452) translates directly into the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance that puts game on the ground cleanly.

The Hornady SST (30452) 30 Cal .308 diameter 165 grain is a smart addition 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 North American game.
