165-Grain SST Bullet Performance Details

The Hornady Super Shock Tip bullet combines a copper jacket with a plastic polymer insert designed for controlled expansion on impact. This construction balances penetration with energy transfer, making it effective across medium to large-game applications. The 165-grain weight in .30-06 Springfield achieves a velocity sweet spot—fast enough for flat trajectory, heavy enough for deep wound channels. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded on brass cases for consistent chamber fit. For handgun options, explore our California-compliant handgun catalog as well.
