Hornady 30cal 150gr SST Bullets

Hornady 30cal 150gr SST Bullets combine a secant ogive, polymer tip and InterLock construction for hunting. The .308″ bullet weighs 150 grains and has a .415 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .226 sectional density. As a result, it offers a balanced combination of aerodynamic efficiency, accuracy and controlled expansion.

Why Choose Hornady 30cal 150gr SST Bullets?

The secant-ogive profile helps reduce drag and improve aerodynamic efficiency. In addition, its streamlined shape helps the bullet retain velocity as range increases. Therefore, it can provide a flatter trajectory and help reduce the effect of wind compared with a less aerodynamic design.

For reloaders, the secant-ogive profile can also offer useful flexibility when tuning seating depth. In some rifle and load combinations, this shape can be less sensitive to changes in bullet jump. As a result, reloaders may have more freedom when finding the seating depth that produces the best accuracy. However, each rifle and load combination can respond differently.

30cal 150gr SST Hunting Performance

The 150 grain weight provides a practical balance for suitable .30-calibre hunting applications. Furthermore, the .415 G1 BC helps the bullet retain velocity as distance increases.

At the same time, the polymer tip helps initiate expansion on impact. The InterLock ring is designed to help retain the core and jacket during expansion. As a result, the design combines efficient flight with controlled terminal performance.

The .226 sectional density also provides a useful balance of bullet weight and diameter. Therefore, this projectile is a versatile option for hunters seeking a 150 grain .308″ bullet for appropriate hunting applications.

Importantly, Hornady lists #30302 separately from #30303, its 150gr SST intended for .300 Savage. The two products have different ballistic coefficients, so they should not be treated as the same bullet.
