If you reload for .30 caliber rifles and want bullets that bridge the gap between speed and reliability, the Hornady SST 30 Cal 165 Grain InterLock Polymer Tip Spitzer BT Bullets deliver both in a box of 100. The SST (Super Shock Tip) line is built specifically for hunters who demand fast, accurate expansion without excess fragmentation—making these rounds effective on whitetail, mule deer, antelope, and larger North American game at typical hunting distances.
The polymer tip isn't just for show. It improves the ballistic coefficient, which means flatter trajectories and more energy downrange compared to flat-nose designs. On impact, the tip collapses inward to initiate expansion in a controlled, predictable manner. The InterLock ring—a thin band of material between the jacket and core—locks them together during expansion so the bullet holds its weight and creates the deep, devastating wound channel hunters expect from a quality rifle round.
The secant ogive boattail profile keeps velocity high and drift low, so your shots retain energy even at distance. A cannelure around the case band gives reloaders a crimp point and works with the InterLock ring to manage expansion rate. Whether you're handloading for a .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, or similar .30 caliber bottleneck cartridge, the 165-grain weight hits the sweet spot for most medium to large game—heavy enough to penetrate, light enough to shoot flat.

The Hornady SST 30 Cal 165 Grain bullets are designed for .30 caliber rifle cartridges. Common examples include .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, and similar bottleneck cartridges. Always verify your specific rifle's chamber and consult load data before assembly.
The SST line is purpose-built for hunting. The polymer tip, controlled expansion design, and InterLock ring make these rounds optimized for game animals from whitetail and mule deer through antelope and larger species. They're equally at home on the range during load development.
Each box contains 100 loose, unprimed bullets ready for your reloading press. You will need to supply your own brass cases, primers, and powder according to published reloading data.
The InterLock ring mechanically locks the jacket to the lead core, preventing separation during impact. This allows the bullet to expand in a controlled manner while retaining most of its original weight, which creates larger wound channels and more reliable energy transfer to the target.
