The SST (Super Shock Tip) design combines a hard polymer tip, copper jacket, lead core, and Hornady's proprietary InterLock ring into a bullet that delivers rapid, controlled expansion whether you're shooting at close range or stretching your zero out to distance. At 225 grains with a sectional density of 0.281 and a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.515, this projectile carries energy downrange efficiently, resists wind deflection, and hits hard at both ends of the velocity spectrum. Supplied in a 100-count box, this pack is ideal for reloaders looking to work up consistent, field-ready loads for medium to large game hunting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHornady 338 CAL .338 225 GR SST Projectile - 100pk Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibre and Bullet Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for .338 calibre rifles with a bullet diameter of .338 inch (8.59mm), making these projectiles suitable for popular .338 chamberings used extensively in Australian big game and long-range hunting applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBullet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 225 grain (14.58g) offering a balance of flat trajectory and retained momentum, particularly well suited to large game ranging from 300 to 1,500 lbs (approx. 136 to 680kg).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSST Polymer Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The hard polymer tip initiates rapid, reliable expansion on impact by driving into the lead core like a wedge. This initiates consistent upset even at lower impact velocities, reducing the risk of poor terminal performance at longer ranges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterLock Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e A mechanical cannelure that locks the copper jacket and lead core together during expansion. This retains bullet integrity and maximises weight retention through the target for deep, reliable penetration on large or tough-bodied animals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eG1 Ballistic Coefficient:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.515 G1 BC is a strong figure for this bullet weight and calibre, producing a flatter trajectory, reduced wind drift, and better retained velocity at distance compared to lower BC projectiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSectional Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.281 SD supports deep penetration relative to bullet diameter, an important factor when hunting large-bodied or thick-skinned game where reaching vitals is critical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecant Ogive Boattail Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e The aerodynamic boattail base combined with a secant ogive profile reduces drag and improves in-flight stability, contributing to the flat trajectories and consistent accuracy this projectile is known for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecisely Tapered Copper Jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e The jacket is thicker at the base and tapers toward the tip, controlling the rate of expansion at high velocity while still ensuring reliable upset at reduced impact velocities, giving consistent terminal performance across a wide range of shooting distances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatch-Grade Jacket Consistency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured to tight tolerances, the jacket concentricity and uniformity support the kind of accuracy reloaders expect when building precision hunting loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 projectiles per box, providing a practical quantity for working up loads and building a stock of consistent, high-performance hunting ammunition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor reloaders running .338 calibre rifles on Australian big game or long-range hunting country, the Hornady SST in 225 grain is a hard-to-fault choice that balances aerodynamic efficiency with proven terminal performance. With the quality control and construction engineering Hornady brings to their projectile line, these are components you can load with confidence and carry into the field knowing they'll do their job when it counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornady","offers":[{"title":"Calibre - .338 CAL","offer_id":51843637543233,"sku":"090255332025","price":159.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/6475\/3217\/files\/Hornady338CAL.338225GRSSTProjectile-100pk2.png?v=1781666628","url":"https:\/\/venturehunting.com.au\/products\/hornady-338-cal-338-225-gr-sst-projectile-100pk","provider":"Venture Hunting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
