Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Hornady built its reputation by pursuing one simple philosophy: ten bullets through one hole. The Custom .308 Winchester 150 grain SST carries that legacy forward as a reliable factory-loaded option for hunters and marksmen who want handload-level accuracy without the reloading bench.
The SST bullet sits at the heart of what makes this ammunition work. The sharp polymer tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation even under extreme stress. This design delivers dramatic wound channels and exceptional weight retention that translates to deeper penetration on game. The 150 grain weight gives a flatter trajectory than heavier options while maintaining the kinetic energy needed for medium to large game.
With a muzzle velocity of 2820 fps and 2648 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load performs as a versatile hunting round. The secant ogive design creates an optimized blend of ballistic efficiency and bearing surface, cutting drag for faster shots without unnecessary recoil. Every round gets hand-inspected before packaging, ensuring the tight tolerances you'd expect from factory ammunition that rivals handloaded performance.
The .308 Winchester remains one of the most versatile centerfire cartridges for a reason. It's capable and manageable, with recoil that doesn't punish while delivering energy suitable for deer and elk at practical hunting distances. Brass casing allows reloading if you want to pursue hand-loading later. Whether you're shooting at the range or in the field, this ammunition pairs the known performance of the SST bullet with Hornady's quality standards.
The polymer tip drives into the lead core on impact, initiating controlled expansion. The InterLock ring locks the core and jacket together mechanically, preventing separation and maintaining weight retention for deep penetration. This combination creates consistent, predictable expansion even at longer ranges where velocity is reduced.
Yes, the 150 grain SST is well-suited for elk when shot placement is good. At typical hunting distances with the 2820 fps muzzle velocity, it delivers adequate energy and penetration for elk-sized game. The .308 Winchester remains popular among elk hunters, though some prefer heavier 165 or 180 grain loads for maximum insurance.
Yes, the Hornady Custom .308 Winchester uses quality brass casings that are reloadable. After firing, you can resize, reprime, and reload these cases if you develop reloads or work with a reloader. This makes the ammunition more economical for frequent shooters over time.
The 150 grain SST shoots a flatter trajectory than heavier options, which is helpful for point-blank hunting inside 300 yards. At extended range beyond 500 yards, heavier bullets like 165 or 180 grain typically retain more energy. For practical hunting distances, the 150 grain balances speed, drop, and wind drift well.
