Description

The Hornady Superformance .243 Winchester 95gr SST (Hornady part no. 80463) pairs a 95-grain SST with .243 Winchester chambering, built for big-game hunting. Hornady loads it for hunters who cannot afford a bullet that quits before it reaches the vitals. The Super Shock Tip (SST) uses a polymer tip to initiate rapid, controlled expansion while a tapered jacket helps the bullet retain weight for reliable penetration. In rifle ammunition, this is the load to zero with and trust on the shot that only comes once a season.
