The Hornady SST 270 Cal 130 Gr InterLock Polymer Tip Spitzer BT Bullets are a go-to load for handloaders pursuing whitetail, antelope, and other medium to large North American game. These rifle bullets combine proven expansion characteristics with a sleek profile designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of hunting scenarios. If you're building custom loads for your .270 Winchester and want bullets engineered for reliable terminal performance, the SST line gives you a solid foundation to work from.
The core design philosophy behind the SST hinges on controlled, rapid expansion paired with deep penetration. The polymer tip does double duty: it improves the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and better downrange energy, and upon impact it initiates the expansion process reliably. The secant ogive boattail profile is the aerodynamic shape that helps these bullets fly efficiently, meaning less drop and drift at distance. For reloaders seeking predictable velocity and trajectory performance, that efficiency translates to tighter shot groups on the bench and more forgiving holds in the field.
The InterLock ring and cannelure work in concert to control how the bullet expands. The cannelure provides a precise crimping groove for consistent seating, while the InterLock mechanically locks the core to the jacket during expansion. That means the bullet retains more of its original weight as it traverses the target, maximizing energy transfer and wound cavity development. For handloaders who want to dial in a load with predictable ballistics and terminal characteristics, that consistency is a real asset.
You're getting 100 bullets per box, ready to seat, charge, and fire. Whether you're working up loads for long-range target work, preparing for hunting season, or simply maintaining your handloading supplies, this box gives you a meaningful quantity to develop and test loads without breaking the bank on components.
| Caliber | .270 Cal |
| Weight | 130 Gr |
| Bullet Type | Polymer Tip Spitzer Boattail |
| Core/Jacket Design | InterLock Ring |
| Quantity | 100 bullets per box |
Hornady designed the SST for whitetail deer, antelope, and similar-sized North American game. It's also appropriate for comparable African plains game. The 130-grain weight in .270 caliber sits in the sweet spot for medium to large-frame animals where controlled expansion and energy retention matter.
The polymer tip increases the bullet's ballistic coefficient, which improves aerodynamic efficiency downrange. That means flatter trajectory, better energy retention at distance, and less wind drift. On impact, the tip also initiates reliable expansion, ensuring the bullet performs as designed across a range of velocities and target conditions.
Each box contains 100 loose bullets, ready for your handloading press. You'll seat them, charge the case, and prime according to your load data.
The InterLock ring mechanically locks the bullet's core to its jacket. During expansion, this keeps the two components bonded, so the bullet retains more of its original mass and energy. That weight retention translates to a larger, more devastating wound channel—a significant advantage when hunting game where deep penetration and energy transfer determine clean, ethical kills.
