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 large and heavy-bodied game animals.
- 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 338 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 .455 G1 BC delivers a flat, wind-resistant trajectory that extends your effective range on elk, moose, mule deer, black bear, and similar large game well past 300 yards without excessive holdover.

- The 200 grain weight gives you a lighter, faster option in the 338 caliber lineup that delivers excellent velocity and a flatter trajectory while still carrying the momentum needed for clean, decisive performance on large North American game.
- For the reloader building a proven 338 caliber hunting load, your powder selection and seating depth work with the Hornady SST (33102) translates directly into the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance that puts large game on the ground cleanly.
