Hornady SST Bullets .25 caliber .257" 117 grain deliver the combination of flat trajectory and rapid expansion designed for medium to large game hunting across North America. The SST (Super Shock Tip) round features a polymer tip that increases ballistic coefficient, enabling superior long-range accuracy while maintaining devastating terminal performance at impact. Loaded 100 rounds per box, these projectiles are engineered for hunters and precision shooters who demand both accuracy and reliable expansion on game animals ranging from antelope to moose.
The 117-grain .25 caliber SST is optimized for velocities typical of .25-06 Remington and similar cartridges. The polymer tip initiates quick, controlled expansion to create a large wound channel while the boat-tail design minimizes drag and improves down-range velocity retention. These ballistic characteristics make the SST effective at extended ranges where velocity drop-off would otherwise compromise terminal performance. The combination of weight and aerodynamic profile positions the round for consistent accuracy across varying shooting distances.
Hornady SST ammunition components are favored by handloaders and factory-round users alike for their consistency and field-proven terminal behavior. Hunters working open terrain where longer shots are common—including pronghorn, mule deer, and African plains game—depend on the SST's flat trajectory and expansion reliability. The .25 caliber with 117-grain construction strikes a balance between recoil management and kinetic energy delivery, making it suitable for shooters of varying experience levels who require a dependable hunting projectile.
Within the hunting ammunition market, Hornady's SST line represents a proven, mid-range option that delivers performance without premium pricing. The 100-count packaging meets the needs of regular hunters and handloaders maintaining an active supply, while the consistent quality supports both field hunting and range development of load data.
