The Hornady SST .30 Caliber 180gr rifle bullet (brand part no. 30702) is a .308-diameter Super Shock Tip bullet at the heavier end of the SST lineup, built for handloaders who want extra weight and penetration on larger game. Hornady builds the SST around a sleek polymer tip and secant ogive boat-tail profile for a higher ballistic coefficient and flatter trajectory, while an InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket locked together during expansion. That combination delivers tremendous shock on impact and reliable expansion at a wide range of velocities, from moderate .30-caliber loads up to full-power magnum speeds. It ships 100 to a box.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 180gr SST differ from lighter SST weights? It carries more weight and momentum for larger game while keeping the same polymer-tip, boat-tail, InterLock-ring construction as the rest of the SST line.

What does the InterLock ring do? It is a raised ring inside the jacket that locks into the bullet’s core, keeping the two together during expansion for reliable mass and energy retention.
