The Hornady SST .25 Caliber 117gr rifle bullet (brand part no. 25522) is built at .257-inch diameter, delivering tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at the higher velocities common in .25-caliber loads. Hornady molds a sleek polymer tip onto this bullet that increases ballistic coefficient and initiates controlled expansion the instant it hits, while a secant ogive boat-tail profile delivers the speed, ballistic efficiency, and downrange energy hunters want. A cannelure provides accurate, consistent crimping, and the InterLock ring ensures the core and jacket stay locked solid during expansion so the SST retains the mass and energy needed for a devastatingly large wound channel. It ships 100 to a box.
