The Technology Behind Superior Performance

The exceptional capability of this ammunition stems from a synergistic design where every component is optimized for high-velocity, high-impact results.

• Progressive Hornady® Powders: The “Superformance” label is more than marketing; it’s a patented propellant technology. Unlike conventional powders that create a pressure spike and rapid drop-off, these progressive propellants maintain a more efficient, sustained pressure curve. This engineering translates directly to higher muzzle velocities—up to an additional 200 fps—without exceeding SAAMI pressure limits. This means your rifle achieves a flatter trajectory and more energy downrange without any increase in felt recoil or muzzle blast.

• The Proven SST® Bullet: At 95 grains, the SST (Super Shock Tip) projectile is a masterpiece of terminal ballistics. Its sharp, polymer tip initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon impact. Crucially, it incorporates Hornady’s proprietary InterLock® ring, a mechanical feature that locks the bullet’s core to its jacket. This prevents separation and ensures deep, penetrating wound channels with excellent weight retention, a critical factor for clean, ethical kills on medium-sized game like whitetail deer and antelope. User reports from hunting forums consistently praise SSTs for their devastating effectiveness, often resulting in deer that drop where they stand.

• Premium Construction for Ultimate Consistency: Velocity means nothing without precision. Hornady loads this ammunition with the highest quality brass cases and precision primers to ensure exceptional lot-to-lot consistency. Every round in your 500-case is manufactured to the same exacting standards, providing the reliable ignition and uniform ballistic performance required for both tight groups on the range and confidence in the field.

Comprehensive Performance & Applications

The .243 Winchester is revered for its flat trajectory and mild recoil, making it an ideal caliber for newer shooters and seasoned hunters alike. The 95-grain SST load elevates this platform to new heights.

• Ballistic Excellence: From a 24-inch test barrel, this load achieves a blistering muzzle velocity of 3,185 fps, generating 2,139 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. This high energy transfer is devastating on game. The bullet’s high ballistic coefficient (G1 BC of 0.355) ensures it bucks wind better and retains velocity at extended ranges, making it exceptionally capable for shots beyond 300 yards.

• Primary Application: Medium Game Hunting: This is a premier choice for hunters pursuing whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, and similar-sized game. The SST’s rapid expansion and deep penetration are perfectly matched for quick, humane harvests. Experienced hunters note that while the SST is highly effective, shot placement is always key to minimizing meat loss on shoulder shots.

• Versatile Shooting Platform: Beyond hunting, this ammunition’s consistency and high velocity make it an excellent choice for long-range target shooting and steel gong matches. The 500-round case is perfect for dedicated practice sessions, allowing you to master your rifle’s dope chart and wind-calling skills with the same ammo you hunt with.

• Firearm Compatibility: This ammunition is safe for use in all modern firearm actions chambered in .243 Winchester, including bolt-action, semi-automatic, lever-action, and pump-action rifles. Its pressure-safe design ensures reliable cycling and function across platforms.
