Product Information

The Hornady® SST® (Super Shock Tip) is designed to deliver tremendous shock on impact while expanding quickly and reliably, particularly at higher velocities.

Flat shooting and deadly accurate, it's an ideal bullet for whitetails, as well as most North American game animals from antelope to moose and similar-sized African plains game. The SST® creates a devastatingly large wound channel.

  • POLYMER TIP:  Upon impact, the hard polymer tip drives into the lead core like a wedge, initiating lightning-fast, yet controlled expansion.
  • SECANT OGIVE, BOATTAIL PROFILE:  Incorporating the pioneering Hornady secant ogive design, the tapered point, increased bearing surface and more aerodynamic profile, combined with a boattail base, makes the SST® more efficient with less drag and greater stability.
  • CANNELURE:  A mid-body cannelure helps keep the core and jacket together while providing a consistent, accurate crimp during the loading process.
  • INTERLOCK® RING:  This Hornady exclusive design mechanically locks the core and jacket together to maintain bullet integrity during expansion, ensuring maximum weight retention and increasing the chances of complete pass-throughs.

This is not loaded ammunition.

Grendel magic

By Michael D. on Apr 07, 2024
I use these in 6.5 Grendel thru a Ruger American. So far very impressive accuracy. Will make a good deer and hog bullet.

Great bullets!

By Jerry O. on Jan 05, 2024
Loaded these for my Creedmoor. Shot sub 1" groups with every powder I tried. Can't go wrong with Hornady and Graf's!

My go to for 6.5 Grendel

By Greg L E. on Aug 21, 2023
It ( 123 SST 6.5 ) has consistently and accurately performed in all of my Grendels. Bolt and gas guns. It's my first choice in bullet selection for the Grendel.

Amazing for Grendel

By David S. on Aug 17, 2023
This bullet is a perfect match for the 6.5 Grendel. Loaded up twenty five and they were all where I needed them to be!

Hornady 6.5 SST 123gr.

By Wayne A. on Aug 10, 2023
These bullets are smokin accurate in my 6..5 Grendel gas gun. Consistent 2" or less @ 300yds. Best group to date is 5/8" @ 300 yds. Can't wait to try them on deer.

Great for Grendel

By Howard T. on Aug 10, 2023
So happy to see Hornady getting products back on the market when others still seem to be lagging behind. This 123 SST is the bullet to reach for in your Grendel. Very easy to develop an accurate load. I use CFE-223, LeverEvolution, TAC, and 8208 and always come up with a least MOA, and usually well under MOA with very little effort. On game performance has been phenomenal with this little bullet. The speeds at which the Grendel launches it is about perfect for it's maximum performance. It violently and quickly expands causing massive trauma and usually exit leaving total destruction between the two holes. More often than not its a DRT or they make a short death sprint and expire in seconds, leaving behind a substantial blood trail. Over 200 yards and you get the same terminal effect, except that sometimes it won't exit, you'll find it perfectly mushroomed tucked under the offside hide in a quickly expired animal.

Hornady 123 grain tipped bobtail

By Bill D. on Jul 05, 2023
Looking at the above comments, I have to say that my fellow shooters really like Graf's Hornady SST 123 grain bullets. Nuf sed bout them.
Graf has a great inventory of the supplies that a shooter needs . Items range from lead to powder, a nice inventory of reloading equipment and last but least, a savy approach to what we, as customers need at a decent price. Good on ya, Graf!

123 grain SST

By Bob K. on Mar 29, 2023
I love these bullets! The Hornady 123 grain SST is the most accurate bullet out of my Grendel. I've been looking for these all over and Graf & Sons is the only one to have them in stock, and the price was right.

These bullets are the best for Grendel. Buy them when you can. They can be hard to find at times.

Hornady 6.5 sst bulets

By Donald H. on Nov 22, 2022
Great bullet for 6.5 creedmore & 6.5 grendel

Great for 6.5 CM

By Michael Z. on Nov 19, 2022
These worked geat for deer using 6.5 CM at close and medium range. Higher velocity gives flat shooting with less recoil. Bullet went clear through including passing through a shoulder.

Works well out of a 6.5 AR

Exemplary Grendel Round

By Albert L. on Aug 09, 2020
Hornady does a great deal of products well, and many exceptionally well: they are Uber competitive in the bullet arena (ie A-Tip and use of Doppler) and I believe their SST line shines brightly as well.

A 123 gr pill from an AR -15 platform is formidable; I hope to achieve 800 yds with 6 “ groups with these bullets.
Grafs competitive as always on price!

123 SST

By Gregory M. on Feb 12, 2020
This bullet is very accurate in my 6.5 Grendel with a 20” BHW barrel.

Excellent bullet for the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5CM

By Keao Y. on May 02, 2019
I've used the 123sst, and 123Amax, in both 6.5Grendel and 6.5CM. I've also used it in 6.5-284, but they are a little soft for the velocity that round can deliver.

In the Grendel these are excellent bullets for medium game.
When launched at 2500fps, from my 20" AR they penetrated very well and gave text book expansion.
At 3000 from my 22" 6.5CM, they are more explosive, and shots should be limited to softer hits, due to the reduced penetration.
All of my shots have been inside of 200yds tho, and at longer range and lower impact velocity, I'd expect them to mimic the slower Grendel's performance.

Hornady 6.5 123 sst

By Carol G. on Mar 22, 2019
Timely shipping and good pricing. I use it in my grendel and I’m Getting around half minute at 100yards with Benchmark.

Good hunting bullet

By Robert D. on Mar 14, 2019
Using them to load 6.5 Grendel for an AR with 18” barrel and a CZ 527 with 24” barrel. Initial tests are promising with the CZ, giving slightly less than 1” at 100. I expect it might improve when the optimum load is found. Similar results from the AR but slightly mor3 than 1”. I have yet to use them on any game.

6.5mm SST

By Bruce F. on Mar 14, 2019
I've been reloading/hunting/competitive shooting for quite some time and I actually believe that Hornady's SST projectile is perhaps the most versatile on today's commercial market.

Hornady 6.5 SST 123gr

By Bruce T. on Feb 20, 2019
Shoot these out of a 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots 0.5 moa using match bullets. With these SST’s I get right around 1 moa. Not bad for a hunting bullet. The barrel is a 20” Faxon 5R Gunner barrel.
