The Hornady Superformance .338 Winchester Magnum 225 Grain SST Ammo – 82233 is meticulously crafted for hunters seeking superior performance and reliability. Utilizing advanced propellant technology, this ammunition achieves a muzzle velocity of 2,840 fps and muzzle energy of 4,318 ft-lbs, providing a significant increase in performance without additional chamber pressure, recoil, or muzzle blast. The 225-grain SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet features a polymer tip that enhances ballistic coefficient and initiates rapid expansion upon impact. Its secant ogive profile and boat tail design contribute to flatter trajectories and improved accuracy, making it ideal for hunting medium to large game.
Upon impact, the polymer tip drives into the lead core, causing controlled expansion and creating a large wound channel. The InterLock® ring ensures the core and jacket remain locked during expansion, maintaining bullet integrity and weight retention for deep penetration. Each cartridge is assembled with premium components, including select brass casings and reliable primers, ensuring consistent ignition and optimal performance. Stringent quality control measures guarantee proper bullet seating, consistent charges, and pressures, resulting in lot-to-lot consistency you can trust. Designed specifically for hunting medium to large game, this ammunition offers the accuracy and terminal performance needed for ethical and effective harvests. Packaged in a 20-round box, with 10 boxes per case, it is an excellent choice for your next hunting expedition.
