A 300 Winchester Magnum rifle isn’t some golf cart that you use to poke around your retirement village. It is a supercar – the kind of thing you drive across the Swiss Alps en route to your next movie star party.
What does that mean? It means you can’t be seen chambering just any old ammo in your 300 WM. You’ve gotta spring for the elite stuff: none other than Hornady American Whitetail Tipped.
The Super Shock Tip is a well-rounded bullet. Not literally, of course, because the polymer tip it is named after is sharp and aerodynamic. When backed by the SST’s secant ogive geometry and optimized boat tail, that tip splits the air efficiently enough to earn the projectile an impressive G1 BC for its weight: 0.447 out of Hornady’s 24” test barrel, which roughly equates to this kind of ballistic performance:
0yds: 3,150 fps | 3,636 ft lbs | -3.0”
100yds: 2,930 fps | 3,147 ft lbs | 7.2”
200yds: 2,722 fps | 2,715 ft lbs | 13.2”
300yds: 2,523 fps | 2,332 ft lbs | 14.6”
400yds: 2,332 fps | 1,993 ft lbs | 10.5”
500yds: 2,150 fps | 1,694 ft lbs | -0.0”
600yds: 1,976 fps | 1,431 ft lbs | -18.1”
700yds: 1,811 fps | 1,201 ft lbs | -45.0”
800yds: 1,656 fps | 1,005 ft lbs | -82.7”
900yds: 1,512 fps | 838 ft lbs | -133.0”
1,000yds: 1,382 fps | 699 ft lbs | -198.6”
And the SST’s drive doesn’t stop there. Impact forces its tip to split open the tapered jacket’s rim and wedge into the lead core’s nose cavity, which produces the shocking energy transfer and lethally wide expansion that really do a number of game. The SST’s InterLock ring and cannelure both grant it the fortitude it needs to add “deep penetration” to the quarry’s long list of problems.
