The Hornady SST 7.62mm 123gr Super Shock Tip bullet is a hunting component bullet from Hornady (brand part no. 3142) designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at higher velocities. Flat-shooting and deadly accurate, it’s built for whitetail and most North American game animals from antelope to moose, as well as similar-sized African plains game. A sleek polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient, while the secant ogive boat-tail profile gives hunters the speed, ballistic efficiency, and downrange energy they’re looking for, and an InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket locked solid together through expansion.
