- Muzzle velocity of 2,460 fps delivers flat trajectories and hard-hitting downrange energy
- Hornady Custom ammunition is hand-inspected before packaging for strict quality control
- Optimized for 6.8 SPC chambers, including AR-platform rifles and bolt-actions
- Polymer tip initiates expansion while the lead core retains weight for deep penetration
- Conveniently packaged in a 20-round box, ideal for range sessions or hunting trips
Who This Is For
This load is purpose-built for hunters pursuing whitetail deer, feral hogs, and similarly sized medium game at moderate to extended ranges, as well as competitive and recreational shooters who want factory ammo that performs like a custom handload. It's an especially strong fit for AR-15 owners running a 6.8 SPC upper who demand consistent terminal performance without the time investment of reloading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition compatible with my AR-15 6.8 SPC upper?
Yes — Hornady 6.8 SPC Custom ammo is designed to feed and function reliably in AR-15 platform rifles chambered in 6.8 SPC. It is also compatible with bolt-action rifles chambered for 6.8 SPC. Always verify your specific firearm's chamber specifications (6.8 SPC vs. 6.8 SPC II) with your manufacturer, as headspace differences between the two can affect pressure and performance.
What game is the 120-grain SST load suitable for hunting?
The 120-grain SST bullet is an excellent choice for medium-sized game including whitetail deer, mule deer, feral hogs, and black bear at ethical hunting ranges. The SST's polymer tip and InterLock design promote rapid expansion for clean, humane kills while retaining enough weight for adequate penetration. For most hunters, shots inside 250 yards will deliver the best terminal results with this load.
What does "SST" mean, and how does it perform differently from a standard soft point?
SST stands for Super Shock Tip. Unlike a traditional soft-point bullet, the SST features a secant ogive profile and a polymer tip that improves the ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and greater retained velocity at distance. On impact, the polymer tip drives rearward into the lead core, initiating immediate, controlled expansion across a wide range of velocities — making it more consistent than standard soft points, especially at longer ranges where impact velocity has dropped.
