Going hunting without any .243 Win ammo? That’s *fail*. Going hunting with high-quality .243 Win ammo? That’s *win*. Going hunting with Hornady American Whitetail Tipped .243 Win ammo? That’s *EPIC*!
If you’ve ever taken medium game with Hornady’s SST bullet before, then you already know why this ammo scores such high marks with deer hunters. The hyper-accurate bullet has a drag-slashing secant ogive profile, as well as a boat tail and sharp meplat that streamline it at both ends. The SST’s .355 G1 BC is high relative to its 95 grain weight, and the reason why it can exhibit this flat of a trajectory upon ripping out of a 24” test barrel: 0yds: -1.5” → 100yds: 1.7” → 200yds: 0.0” → 300yds: -7.5” → 400yds: -22.1” → 500yds: -45.4” → 600yds: -79.8”.
The SST doesn’t just home in on its target like it’s laser guided. It also expands rapidly, doubly bowling the deer over with traumatic energy transfer and massive cavitation. The SST won’t hold itself entirely together if it strikes at high velocity, but its InterLock ring and cannelure do an admirable job of retaining its weight all the same.
