Hornady SST-ML Black Powder Bullets
In the world of black powder shooting, precision and performance have always been the ultimate goals. Hornady's line of SST-ML bullets redefines those standards by delivering centerfire-like performance to muzzleloaders. These projectiles utilize a Super Shock Tip (SST) combined with a sabot, setting new benchmarks for accuracy and terminal effect.
The SST polymer tip is not merely an aesthetic enhancement; it significantly improves ballistic coefficient, ensuring your shots are faster and flatter over extended distances. Upon impact, this innovative tip initiates expansion that gouges wide and deep wound channels—essential for effective hunting outcomes.
Key features include:
- Caliber/Type: .50 Caliber SST-ML
- Diameter: .452 inches
- Weight: 250 grains
- Ballistic Coefficient: .210
- Sectional Density:.175
The inclusion of Flex Tip technology enhances penetration while maintaining weight retention—crucial factors when evaluating bullet effectiveness at longer ranges. The design ensures controlled expansion with minimal fragmentation, allowing deeper penetration which translates into reliable stopping power.
A notable advantage is reduced recoil in muzzleloading rifles without compromising on projectile capability or sectional density—the ratio reflecting retained weight versus expanded diameter post-impact.
The ease of loading these sabots into your rifle cannot be understated; they facilitate quick preparation so you can focus on what matters most: accurate long-range shots that count every time. With its superior engineering, Hornady’s SST-ML stands as one of the highest-rated options available for discerning black powder enthusiasts seeking unparalleled consistency in their hunts.
Features
- this line of black powder bullets raises the bar for muzzleloading performance to a height never dreamed before
- combining the super shock tip (sst) premium polymer tip with a sabot, hornady has truly brought centerfire performance to the black powder hunt. the sabot allows you to use a lighter caliber bullet for longer shots, while the sst point improves the ballistic coefficient for a faster, flatter flight. and, like the other sst bullets, the polymer tip initiates expansion on impact, giving these muzzleloading projectiles the ability to gouge a wide, deep wound channel for improved terminal performance
- shoot your muzzleloading rifle with less recoil, and deliver a projectile that penetrates better, retains more of its weight, and offers better sectional density (the ratio of the bullet's retained weight to its expanded diameter)
