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 the largest and heaviest 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 .515 G1 BC delivers a flat, wind-resistant trajectory that extends your effective range on elk, moose, brown bear, black bear, and similar large and dangerous game well past 300 yards without excessive holdover.
• Compatible with 338 Winchester Magnum, 338 Lapua Magnum, 338 Norma Magnum, 338 Federal, 338 Rem Ultra Mag, and 33 Nosler, making the SST (33202) a versatile hunting component across the full 338 caliber family.
• The 225 grain weight balances velocity and terminal momentum across the full 338 caliber cartridge family, giving you a bullet that drives deep through heavy muscle, thick hide, and large bone while still producing a flat enough trajectory for extended field shots.
• For the reloader building a proven 338 caliber hunting load, your powder selection and seating depth work with the Hornady SST (33202) translates directly into the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance that puts large game on the ground cleanly.

The Hornady SST (33202) 338 Cal .338 diameter 225 grain is a capable tool 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 the largest and most demanding North American game animals.
