Special Features
Hard polymer tip drives into the lead core like a wedge on impact, initiating lightning-fast, controlled expansion that creates a large, devastating wound channel while the InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation throughout the terminal phase.
InterLock ring mechanically locks the jacket and core together during expansion, maintaining bullet integrity and maximizing weight retention for deep, reliable penetration on medium and large game.
Secant ogive boattail profile combines a tapered point, increased bearing surface, and aerodynamic form to produce a flatter trajectory, reduced drag, and greater in-flight stability compared to conventional cup and core hunting bullet designs.
Precisely tapered jacket controls expansion at high velocity while promoting reliable upset at lower impact velocities, making the SST dependable across the full family of 7mm hunting cartridges.
Cannelure works in combination with the InterLock ring to keep core and jacket together and provides a consistent, accurate crimp location during the loading process.
