HORNADY 308 WIN - 150 GR - SST - 20 RDS/BOX
The Hornady Superformance .308 Winchester 150 Grain SST delivers a significant velocity advantage β up to 200 fps faster than conventional loads β making it one of the most capable hunting and long-range rifle cartridges available in its class.
- Superformance propellant technology pushes 150 gr SST to 3,000 fps muzzle velocity
- Up to 200 fps gain over standard loads with no added chamber pressure or recoil
- SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet delivers devastating terminal expansion on impact
- Polymer tip initiates rapid, reliable expansion across a wide range of velocities
- Boat-tail design and secant ogive profile provide exceptional long-range accuracy
- 20 rounds per box; minimal temperature sensitivity and reduced fouling
Who This Is For
This ammunition is an excellent choice for deer, hog, and medium-to-large game hunters who demand flat trajectories and reliable terminal performance from their .308 Winchester rifles. It's equally well-suited for precision rifle shooters who want a hunting load that doubles as a capable long-range performer without sacrificing accuracy or causing excessive wear on their barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Hornady Superformance different from standard .308 Winchester ammunition?
Hornady Superformance ammunition uses a proprietary blend of progressive-burning propellants that extract more velocity from the same case capacity without increasing chamber pressure, recoil, or muzzle blast. The result is a meaningful real-world velocity gain β up to 200 fps over comparable standard loads β which translates to a flatter trajectory, more retained energy downrange, and improved terminal performance on game. It is safe to use in any .308 Winchester chambered firearm.
What is the SST bullet and how does it perform on game?
The SST, or Super Shock Tip, is Hornady's polymer-tipped InterLock hunting bullet. The red polymer tip drives rearward on impact to initiate rapid, consistent expansion even at lower velocities encountered at longer ranges. The InterLock ring mechanically bonds the jacket to the lead core, preventing separation and retaining weight for deep penetration. This combination makes the 150 gr SST highly effective on deer-sized game out to 400+ yards when launched at Superformance velocities.
Is this ammunition accurate enough for precision or long-range shooting?
Yes. The 150 gr SST features a boat-tail base and a carefully designed secant ogive that contribute to a high ballistic coefficient of 0.415 (G1), helping the bullet resist wind drift and retain velocity at distance. Hornady's stringent quality control β including consistent powder charges and bullet seating β means this load regularly delivers sub-MOA performance in quality .308 rifles. Many hunters and competitive shooters use Superformance SST as a dual-purpose load for both the range and the field.
