Hornady 26173 .264 Caliber 123 Grain SST Reloading Bullets, 100 Count

Hornady 26173 SST reloading bullets are designed for hunters who want rapid, reliable expansion, dependable accuracy, and strong downrange performance. SST stands for Super Shock Tip, a design engineered to deliver substantial impact energy while expanding consistently, especially at higher velocities. With a .264-inch diameter and 123-grain weight, these bullets are well suited for 6.5mm rifle cartridges and hunting applications ranging from whitetail deer and antelope to moose and similarly sized African plains game.
The streamlined polymer tip initiates expansion on impact while improving the bullet’s ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory. Hornady’s secant ogive and boat-tail profile help reduce drag and preserve velocity and energy at extended distances, giving reloaders a bullet that supports efficient, accurate load development. A .510 ballistic coefficient and .252 sectional density further contribute to stable flight and effective penetration when paired with an appropriate cartridge, powder charge, and rifle.
An InterLock ring helps keep the lead core and copper jacket mechanically secured during expansion, supporting controlled performance through hunting-sized game. The cannelured construction provides additional flexibility for reloaders seeking reliable bullet seating and crimping. Each box contains 100 Hornady Super Shock Tip bullets, making this a practical choice for developing hunting loads, practicing with matched components, or maintaining a supply of consistent projectiles. Always follow published reloading data and verify cartridge, load, and firearm compatibility before use.
