The Hornady SST-ML was designed to increase the accuracy and trajectory of your black powder rifle, meaning long-range muzzleloader hunting was much more of a possibility than ever before. These bullets fully engage the rifling to keep the SST-ML bullet centered and sealed while firing, giving you maximum velocity and unparalleled long-range ...

First off, let’s break down the specifications of the Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) line. The SST is a boat tail bullet with a polymer tip. The tip is Hornady’sHeatshieldtechnology, which prevents warping of the bullet as the tip heats up at long range. With traditional polymer tips, the tip can distort, which causes unpredictable changes to the BC...
Next, the SST was loaded with a variety of powder charges and tested in a Bergara B-14rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. One of the benefits of a cup and core bullet design is easy accuracy. While bonded and partition style bullets can have great terminal performance, accuracy is often more finicky. Simply put, the more complex the construction of the bullet ...
Finally, we look at the most important attribute: terminal performance. Accurate, high technology bullets that don’t kill effectively are of no use to a hunter. Fortunately, the SST did not disappoint. I took the SST on a Sitka blacktail huntand was presented with a steeply quartering to shot a 44 yards on a big bodied Sitka buck. This presented an...
In conclusion, the Hornady SST performs as advertised and expands violently without blowing apart. However, the SST is a bullet best used in specific cases, not as a do everything bullet. First off, penetration was acceptable, but not in the same class as bonded or monolithic bullets. For hunting big critters like elk, moose, and the larger bears, ...
Dec 28, 2010 · Feb 17, 2014. #7. I have used the Hornady SST and the T/C ShockWave--virtually the same bullet and made by Hornady for T/C--for several years now and have been very happy with the results. I shoot 110 grns of BlackHorn209 and use a Harvester sabot in my T/C Omegas and the 250 grn SST's and/or ShockWaves are very accurate and kill deer.

Hornady SST bullets are primarily loaded in the company’s Superformance line of ammunition and are available in popular calibers like 243 Winchester, Remington 7mm Mag, 30-06 Springfield, 308 Win, and 338 Win Mag, just to name a few. Hornady also has a line of SST sabot muzzleloader bullets available in 45 and 50 calibers.
The SST®-ML™ is a phenomenal muzzleloading option and an excellent choice for long range blackpowder hunters. Other "easy-load" bullets often fail to properly engage the rifling, which does not effectively stabilize the bullet and, as a result, accuracy suffers. But Hornady® sabots fully engage the rifling to keep the SST®-ML™ centered ...
