The Hornady SST-ML saboted bullet is built for .50-caliber muzzleloading rifles and combines a low-drag sabot with a 300 grain Super Shock Tip projectile to improve external ballistics and downrange performance. The sabot fully engages rifling to stabilize the projectile through the bore and then separates after exiting the muzzle. The polymer Super Shock/Flex tip preserves the bullet’s ballistic profile and aids controlled expansion. The design is aimed at long-range muzzleloader use where aerodynamic performance and consistent terminal behavior are priorities.
