Description
Hornady’s Superformance line was developed specifically for hunters who want more downrange performance from standard-length rifles without handloading. The .300 Savage is a compact, efficient cartridge with a long track record on deer and black bear, and pairing it with Superformance propellants extracts meaningful velocity gains — sources confirm up to 200 fps over conventional loads at the same pressure ceiling — without a corresponding spike in felt recoil or chamber wear. That extra velocity matters most at moderate to longer hunting distances, where a flatter arc reduces the guesswork in holdover when an animal doesn’t present itself at a textbook range.
The 150-grain SST bullet is built around a polymer tip that initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact. The tip prevents deformation in the magazine during recoil, preserves the boat-tail’s ballistic coefficient across the flight path, and then drives inward on contact to begin the expansion sequence before the jacket has time to shed. For medium to large game, this means the bullet spends its energy inside the animal rather than fragmenting on the surface or penciling through without adequate upset. Brass casings are reloadable for those who eventually want to work up handloads to the same velocity standard. Each box contains 20 rounds.
