Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hornady SST bullet effective for hunting?
The Super Shock Tip (SST) features a polymer tip that initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact across a wide range of velocities. The InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket bonded together during penetration, delivering devastating energy transfer and reliable mushrooming — making it highly effective on deer, pronghorn, and similar game at both close and long ranges.
Is this load compatible with a standard 25-06 Remington chamber?
Yes. Hornady Superformance ammunition is loaded to standard SAAMI pressure specifications, so it is fully compatible with any firearm chambered in 25-06 Remington. The increased velocity comes entirely from Hornady's advanced progressive propellant blends, not from elevated pressure — meaning no additional wear on your rifle.
How does Superformance compare to standard 25-06 hunting loads?
Superformance loads typically achieve 100–200 fps more velocity than conventional ammunition in the same caliber and bullet weight. For the 25-06 Remington 117 gr SST, that means a muzzle velocity of 3,110 fps — flatter trajectories, less holdover at distance, and more retained energy at 300+ yards, all without increases in felt recoil or muzzle blast compared to standard loads.
