Description

Hornady Custom ammunition loads these rounds to factory standards that rival hand-loaded precision. Every single cartridge is hand-inspected during packaging to catch inconsistencies before they reach you. The result is ammo that groups tight at the range and delivers consistent performance in the field.

What Makes The 120 Grain SST the Right Choice

The 120 grain bullet weight sits right in that sweet spot for the 6.8 SPC platform. Heavier than some offerings but not so heavy that you sacrifice velocity, this load prints at 2,460 feet per second with 1,612 foot-pounds of energy downrange. That ballistic profile makes it an excellent all-rounder for both precision shooting and hunting applications, particularly effective on hogs and deer at moderate distances.

Hornady SST Design and Terminal Performance

The Super Shock Tip polymer point does more than just look sharp. It increases the bullet's ballistic coefficient, helping it retain energy and buck wind drift better than traditional designs. When the bullet hits, that tip initiates controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. The core features Hornady's Interlock ring, which locks the jacket to the core during expansion. This means the bullet mushrooms reliably while staying together rather than fragmenting prematurely, so you get adequate penetration without wasting energy on unnecessary damage.

Designed for Consistent Accuracy

These rounds use a secant ogive boat-tail profile that traces back to Hornady's proven hunting bullet designs. That particular shape creates the balance between ballistic efficiency and bearing surface that translates to flatter shooting and less wind deflection. Pair that with brass casings that perform predictably lot to lot, and you get ammunition that groups the same way today as it will next month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hornady Custom 6.8 SPC 120 grain suitable for hunting deer?

Yes. The 120 grain SST at 2,460 fps provides roughly 44 percent more energy than 5.56 NATO and is well-suited for deer-sized game at moderate distances. The heavier bullet weight gives you better energy retention downrange compared to lighter 6.8 SPC loads, making it reliable out to around 300 yards for most hunting scenarios.

What does hand-inspected ammunition mean?

Every round from Hornady Custom is visually checked before packaging to ensure it meets quality standards. This catches defects in case dimensions, primer seating, and powder charge consistency that might slip through in mass-produced ammo, giving you better lot-to-lot consistency.

How does the SST bullet expand?

The polymer tip initiates expansion on impact across a wide range of velocities. Hornady's Interlock ring mechanically locks the jacket to the core, so the bullet expands predictably without fragmenting. This delivers a reliable wound channel while maintaining penetration through vital organs.

Why choose 120 grain over lighter 6.8 SPC loads?

The 120 grain bullet provides better energy retention at distance and less wind drift due to its higher ballistic coefficient. For hunting applications, this weight offers an excellent balance between velocity and impact performance. It's one of the standard recommendations for medium game hunting with the 6.8 SPC.
