The Hornady .338 Caliber 200 Grain SST InterLock Bullets (MPN: 33102) are unprimed, non-electrical reloading projectiles engineered for handloading into .338-calibre rifle cartridges, including .338 Federal, .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Remington Ultra Magnum (RUM), and .338 Lapua Magnum. Featuring a polymer Super Shock Tip (SST) seated within a secant ogive profile, this 200-grain projectile delivers a flat aerodynamic trajectory and uniform, rapid terminal expansion upon impact. To maintain projectile integrity during mushrooming, Hornady incorporates an internal InterLock mechanical ring alongside a mid-body cannelure, binding the antimony-hardened lead core to the gilding-metal jacket and reducing jacket-core separation at standard hunting velocities.

Key Features

• Polymer Super Shock Tip (SST): Acts as an aerodynamic nose cone in flight and drives backward as a mechanical wedge on target to initiate immediate, uniform expansion.
• Secant Ogive and Boat-Tail Profile: Reduces in-flight aerodynamic drag, yielding an efficient G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.455.
• InterLock Ring and Cannelure: Mechanically secures the lead-alloy core to the outer jacket to maximise weight retention and deep tissue penetration.
• Versatile Case Compatibility: Designed for standard .338-calibre hunting cases, offering an efficient 200-grain weight option across medium-to-high velocity loads.

Who is the Hornady .338 200 Grain SST InterLock Bullets 100 Pack for?

• Hunters targeting large deer species such as Sambar, Rusa, and Red deer — requires a rapid-expanding .338-calibre reloading rifle bullet delivering high energy transfer, facilitated by a 200-grain weight and a 0.250 sectional density that drives uniform mushrooming across moderate-to-long hunting ranges up to 500 metres.
• Hunters targeting wild boars, feral camels, or donkeys — utilizes a 0.455 G1 ballistic coefficient for a flat trajectory and rapid knockdown power, relying on the .338-inch diameter polymer-tipped projectile to produce substantial wound channels in medium-to-large feral game.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 500 metres, where heavier-for-calibre, ultra-high BC match or hunting projectiles (such as 230- to 270-grain boat-tail designs) offer superior wind drift resistance; and thick-skinned or dangerous game such as scrub bulls or water buffalo, where solid monolithic or heavy bonded bullets in 225- to 250+ grains are required to achieve deep, straight-line bone penetration.
