The Hornady SST 30 Cal 180 Grain InterLock Polymer Tip Spitzer Boattail bullets are a go-to choice for reloaders hunting medium to large North American game. Built on proven terminal performance principles—controlled expansion, retained weight, and deep penetration—the SST line delivers the energy transfer and wound channel depth that separate effective shots from marginal ones. This box of 100 bullets gives you what you need to handload reliable, consistent ammunition for your .30-caliber rifle.
The polymer tip serves a dual purpose: it boosts the ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and better downrange velocity retention, while also initiating expansion upon impact in a controlled manner. The secant ogive boattail profile is engineered to reduce drag and stabilize the bullet in flight, translating to more consistent long-range performance. The InterLock ring mechanically binds the jacket to the core, preventing separation during expansion and preserving the bullet's mass and energy for deep, devastating wound channels.
A cannelure groove runs around the body, giving you a precise and repeatable crimping point—crucial for consistency when you're working up loads. Whether you're loading for whitetail, elk, or other medium to large game, the SST's combination of aerodynamics and terminal performance makes it a solid option for hunters who demand reliability across a range of hunting scenarios and distances.

The SST 180 grain is designed for whitetail and most North American medium to large game, including elk, moose, and antelope, as well as similar-sized African plains game. Velocity, distance, and shot placement—not bullet selection alone—determine ethical hunting outcomes; consult ballistics data and hunting guides for your specific quarry and distance.
The polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient, which improves the bullet's aerodynamic efficiency. This helps it maintain velocity and energy downrange and contributes to a flatter, more consistent trajectory when loaded and fired properly.
The InterLock ring mechanically locks the bullet's jacket to its core. This prevents jacket/core separation during expansion, allowing the bullet to retain mass and energy and create larger, more consistent wound channels.
Yes. The cannelure groove provides a defined crimping point, making it easy to seat and crimp the bullets consistently during the reloading process—important for reliable feeding and performance.
