Frequently Asked Questions
What game is Hornady Custom 308 Win 150 Grain SST best suited for?
The SST bullet's polymer tip and lead core design make this load an excellent choice for medium to large North American game, including whitetail deer, mule deer, black bear, and wild hogs. Its rapid, controlled expansion delivers reliable energy transfer and effective wound channels at both close and extended ranges, typically out to 400–500 yards depending on conditions.
Will this ammunition work reliably in my semi-automatic .308 rifle, such as an AR-10 or M1A?
Yes. Hornady Custom ammunition is loaded to SAAMI-spec pressures and uses high-quality brass cases that feed reliably in both bolt-action and semi-automatic .308 Winchester platforms. The consistent overall cartridge length and primer seating ensure dependable cycling in AR-10-pattern rifles, M1A/M14 variants, and similar gas-operated systems.
How should I store Hornady Custom ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store your ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. A sealed container or ammo can with a desiccant packet is ideal for long-term storage. Hornady's non-corrosive Boxer primers and sealed case mouths help preserve shelf life, but proper storage ensures the powder charge and primer remain stable for years of reliable performance.
