Hornady 7mm 154gr SST Bullets

Hornady 7mm 154gr SST Bullets combine a secant ogive, polymer tip and InterLock construction for hunting. The .284″ bullet weighs 154 grains and has a .525 G1 ballistic coefficient with a .273 sectional density. As a result, it offers a useful balance of aerodynamic efficiency, bullet weight and controlled expansion.

Why Choose Hornady 7mm 154gr SST Bullets?

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

For reloaders, the secant-ogive shape can also provide useful flexibility when tuning seating depth. In particular, some rifle and load combinations can be less sensitive to changes in bullet jump. As a result, reloaders may have more freedom when finding the seating depth that gives the best accuracy. However, every rifle and load combination responds differently, so testing remains important.

7mm 154gr SST Hunting Performance

The 154 grain weight provides a useful balance of bullet mass and ballistic performance for suitable 7mm hunting applications. Furthermore, the .525 G1 BC helps the bullet maintain velocity as distance increases.

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

The .273 sectional density also provides a useful balance of weight and diameter. Therefore, this bullet is well suited to hunters looking for a heavier 7mm projectile with an aerodynamic profile.

However, terminal performance depends on impact velocity, range, shot placement, game and the individual rifle and load. For this reason, reloaders should always use current published load data for the specific cartridge.
