Shock Tip bullet design and expansion characteristics

The Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet employed in this HSM load features a polymer-tipped design engineered to initiate rapid expansion on impact while maintaining structural integrity through bone and heavy muscle. The 95-grain weight in .243 Winchester sits in the practical middle ground—light enough for flat trajectory on smaller targets, heavy enough to handle deer-sized game effectively. At roughly $1.75 per round, this ammunition represents a straightforward choice for shooters who value consistent terminal performance.
