Hornady Superformance .30-06 Springfield Ammunition180 gr / 11.7 g • Polymer-Tipped SST • 20 Rounds
Hornady Superformance .30-06 Springfield 180 gr SST combines the advanced technology of the Superformance ammunition range with the aerodynamic SST (Super Shock Tip) hunting bullet. This high-velocity factory-loaded cartridge is developed for hunters who value accuracy, modern bullet construction and consistent ballistic characteristics.
Unlike traditional hunting loads, the Superformance range uses specially selected progressive propellants that enable Hornady to achieve higher velocities than many conventional cartridges in the same class. The manufacturer emphasises that this technology is designed to deliver increased velocity without exceeding established pressure standards or compromising accuracy.
This specific cartridge, manufacturer item 81183, features a 180-grain SST bullet with a polymer tip, a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.480 and a published muzzle velocity of 2820 fps / approximately 860 m/s.
Higher velocity through progressive propellants
Superformance is a Hornady technology that uses specially selected propellants to achieve higher muzzle velocities than many conventional factory-loaded cartridges, while remaining within applicable pressure standards.
Higher factory velocity
Hornady states that the range typically delivers an increase of approximately 100–200 fps (around 30–60 m/s) compared with comparable traditional loads. The actual difference depends on the cartridge and firearm.
Quality components
Cases, primers and propellants are selected as part of the complete factory-loaded cartridge design, with an emphasis on reliability and consistency.
Velocity and accuracy
Superformance is engineered to increase velocity while maintaining Hornady's demanding standards for hunting ammunition accuracy.
Hornady SST — Super Shock Tip
SST is a hunting bullet featuring a polymer tip and an aerodynamic profile. Its construction is designed to combine efficient external ballistics with dependable expansion on impact.
SUPER SHOCK TIP POLYMER TIP • INTERLOCK RING
SECANT OGIVE • BOATTAIL
Polymer tip
The rigid polymer tip supports the bullet's aerodynamic shape. On impact, it also helps initiate expansion of the lead core.
Secant Ogive — aerodynamic profile
This specialised curve along the bullet's forward section is designed to reduce air resistance and help preserve velocity during flight.
Boattail — tapered rear section
The tapered base improves the bullet's aerodynamic efficiency as it travels through the air.
InterLock — mechanical core retention
Hornady's internal locking ring helps retain the lead core within the metal jacket during expansion.
Cannelure
A dedicated groove on the bullet body helps secure it within the cartridge case during factory loading.
Modern hunting ammunition with a distinct technical design
Aerodynamic bullet
The polymer tip, Secant Ogive profile and tapered base are designed to support efficient flight characteristics.
Structural integrity
The mechanical InterLock ring helps maintain the connection between the lead core and metal jacket during expansion.
Established .30-06 bullet weight
The 180 gr bullet is a well-established option in .30-06 Springfield for a range of legally permitted hunting applications.
