Hornady 30452 SST .308 165 Grain Polymer Tip Reloading Bullets, 100 Count

Hornady Part Number 30452 SST bullets are designed for hunters who need dependable expansion, accuracy, and downrange performance from a .30 caliber rifle cartridge. SST stands for Super Shock Tip, a design intended to promote rapid, reliable expansion, particularly at higher velocities. These 165 grain .308-inch bullets are well suited for whitetail deer and a broad range of North American game, including antelope, moose, and similar-sized African plains game when used with appropriate loads and within ethical hunting ranges.
The sleek polymer tip initiates expansion while improving the bullet’s aerodynamic profile and ballistic coefficient. Combined with a secant ogive and boat-tail design, the SST profile supports a flat trajectory, efficient flight, and retained energy at extended distances. The copper jacket surrounds a lead core, while the InterLock ring helps keep the core and jacket mechanically engaged during expansion for consistent terminal performance. A cannelure is included for compatible reloading applications.
These Hornady SST reloading bullets feature a .447 ballistic coefficient and .248 sectional density, offering a balanced combination of velocity retention, stability, and penetration potential. Each box contains 100 projectiles for handloading .30 caliber ammunition. Always follow published reloading data, verify bullet seating and cartridge specifications, and use these components only in firearms and loads appropriate for the .308-inch diameter and 165 grain bullet weight. Hornady Part Number 30452 provides a practical choice for hunters and reloaders seeking a streamlined, polymer-tipped projectile with proven SST construction.
