Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets

For shooters who demand superior performance and precision, the Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets are a top choice. Engineered for accuracy and reliability, these bullets are perfect for both hunting and target shooting. Hornady, a trusted name in ammunition, has designed these bullets to deliver consistent expansion, deep penetration, and exceptional accuracy, making them a must-have for any serious shooter.

Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets: Design and Technology

Superior Design

The Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets feature a sleek, aerodynamic design that ensures maximum ballistic efficiency. The streamlined secant ogive profile enhances accuracy by reducing drag and improving flight stability. This design allows for flatter trajectories and improved downrange performance, making these bullets ideal for long-range shooting.

InterLock Ring

One of the standout features of the Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets is the InterLock ring. This innovative design element ensures that the core and jacket remain locked together during expansion. This results in controlled expansion and deep penetration, which are critical for ethical hunting. The InterLock ring maintains the bullet’s structural integrity upon impact, ensuring that it delivers maximum energy to the target.

Polymer Tip

The polymer tip of the SST (Super Shock Tip) bullets provides several benefits. It enhances ballistic coefficient, ensuring that the bullet flies true and hits hard. Upon impact, the tip initiates rapid expansion, creating a larger wound channel for quick, humane kills. The sharp tip also aids in reducing wind drift, allowing for precise shot placement even in challenging conditions.

Performance and Accuracy

Consistent Expansion

The Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets are designed to expand reliably upon impact. The combination of the polymer tip and InterLock ring ensures that the bullet expands uniformly, delivering devastating terminal performance. This consistency is crucial for hunters who need to ensure that their shots are effective and humane.

Deep Penetration

Penetration is another key performance factor for the Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets. These bullets are engineered to penetrate deeply into the target, reaching vital organs and ensuring quick, ethical kills. This deep penetration capability makes these bullets suitable for a wide range of game, from deer to larger, tougher animals.

Exceptional Accuracy

Accuracy is paramount for both hunters and target shooters. The aerodynamic design of the Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets, combined with the polymer tip, ensures that these bullets deliver exceptional accuracy. Shooters can rely on these bullets to hit their mark, whether at close range or extended distances. This level of precision is what sets Hornady bullets apart from the competition.

Versatility and Applications

Ideal for Hunting

The Hornady 6.5mm 140gr SST Bullets are perfect for hunters seeking reliable performance in the field. Their consistent expansion and deep penetration capabilities make them suitable for a variety of game animals. Whether you are hunting deer, elk, or other big game, these bullets provide the performance you need for successful hunts.

Target Shooting Excellence

In addition to hunting, these bullets are excellent for target shooting. Their superior accuracy and aerodynamic design make them a great choice for long-range shooting practice. Shooters can achieve tight groupings and improve their skills with these high-performance bullets.

The Hornady^® SST^® (Super Shock Tip) is designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at higher velocities.

Flat shooting and deadly accurate, it's an ideal bullet for whitetails, as well as most North American game animals from antelope to moose and similar-sized African plains game. The SST^® creates a devastatingly large wound channel.

Product Features

POLYMER TIP

Upon impact, the hard polymer tip drives into the lead core like a wedge, initiating lightning-fast, yet controlled expansion.

SECANT OGIVE, BOATTAIL PROFILE

Incorporating the pioneering Hornady secant ogive design, the tapered point, increased bearing surface and more aerodynamic profile, combined with a boattail base, makes the SST® more efficient with less drag and greater stability.

CANNELURE

A mid-body cannelure helps keep the core and jacket together while providing a consistent, accurate crimp during the loading process.

INTERLOCK^® RING

This Hornady exclusive design mechanically locks the core and jacket together to maintain bullet integrity during expansion, ensuring maximum weight retention and increasing the chances of complete pass-throughs.
