The Hornady Superformance .308 Winchester 165 Grain SST® Ammo #80983 is engineered to maximize velocity and energy transfer, delivering superior performance for hunters who demand speed and stopping power. Featuring Hornady’s Super Shock Tip (SST®) bullet, this ammunition provides rapid expansion, high weight retention, and deep penetration, making it ideal for whitetail deer, elk, and black bear hunting.
With a muzzle velocity of 2,840 fps and muzzle energy of 2,965 ft-lbs, this ammunition offers flatter trajectories, reduced wind drift, and enhanced downrange accuracy compared to standard .308 Win loads. The SST® bullet’s polymer tip and secant ogive design improve aerodynamics for long-range precision, while the InterLock® ring ensures the core and jacket remain intact upon impact, maximizing energy transfer to the target.
Hornady’s Superformance® propellant technology provides increased velocities without excessive chamber pressure, ensuring smooth feeding and consistent ignition in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles chambered for .308 Winchester. Packaged in a 20-round box, this ammunition is proudly made in the USA, trusted by hunters seeking maximum efficiency in the field.
