HRNDY SF 243WIN 95GR SST 20/200

Description

Hornady’s Superformance line exists to close the gap between what a cartridge can do on paper and what factory ammunition actually delivers at the muzzle. In .243 Winchester, that matters most to hunters running shots across open ground at deer, pronghorn, or similarly sized game, where a meaningful velocity advantage translates directly into a flatter arc and more retained energy at distance. The 95-grain SST bullet is deliberately matched to that mission: heavy enough to hold its course in crosswinds that would push lighter varmint bullets off course, yet still moving fast enough to initiate reliable expansion at the ranges where the .243 earns its keep.

The Super Shock Tip bullet design uses a polymer tip seated in a lead core to drive immediate, controlled expansion on impact. The tip itself prevents the hollow point from clogging during flight, which is a real concern with cup-and-core designs under field conditions, and it initiates the expansion sequence consistently across a wider range of impact velocities than bare lead-tip alternatives. The interlock band between core and jacket resists separation under the stress of impact, which keeps the bullet intact long enough to penetrate adequately before the energy dump begins.

Superformance propellants are formulated to generate higher velocities without running chamber pressures beyond SAAMI limits, and without the barrel-fouling side effects that come from simply stuffing more of a conventional powder into a case. Brass cases are reloadable, which matters to anyone who stretches components between hunting seasons. The 20-round box format is sized for a hunt, not a range session, and the 200-round case option makes sense if you are working up andconfirming a load before season.
