Description
When you need ammunition that delivers precision out of the box without compromise, the HSM Tipping Point 2 stands out in a crowded market. This load pairs some of the best components available with a proven hunting bullet design that's been tested in the field and proven to work.
HSM Tipping Point 2 Features Superior Components
HSM starts with quality brass cases, precision primers, and carefully selected powders formulated to deliver consistent performance round after round. The ammunition is loaded to match-grade specifications, which means you're getting the kind of accuracy typically reserved for hand-loaded rounds. Everything is reloadable, so once you've fired it, you can reload the brass if you're into handloading.
Hornady SST Bullet Design for Hunting
The 165-grain Hornady Super Shock Tip (SST) bullet is engineered specifically for field hunting. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion on impact while the InterLock ring keeps the core and jacket together for deep, consistent penetration. This design minimizes meat damage around the wound channel, which matters if you're trying to salvage usable game meat. The boat-tail design enhances ballistic efficiency, meaning flatter trajectories and better energy retention downrange, which translates to more effective hunting at extended ranges.
Built for Medium to Large Game
The 165-grain weight in .308 Winchester offers the kind of hard-hitting power and accuracy that works across most big game hunting scenarios. The aerodynamic profile keeps velocity high and trajectory flat enough that you won't need to dial in extreme adjustments for typical hunting distances. Each box contains 20 rounds of brass-cased ammunition ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tipping Point 2 different from standard hunting ammunition?
HSM loads the Tipping Point 2 to match-grade specifications using quality components, which gives you precision and consistency typical of hand-loaded ammunition. The Hornady SST bullet is specifically engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration while minimizing meat damage, making it a solid choice for hunters who want both accuracy and reliable performance on game.
Is this ammunition suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The 165-grain SST bullet has a boat-tail design that enhances ballistic efficiency, providing a flatter trajectory and better energy retention at distance. This makes it more effective for hunting scenarios beyond typical close-range shots, though like any cartridge, precision placement remains critical.
Can I reload the brass casings from this ammunition?
Absolutely. The ammunition comes loaded on reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so once you've fired it, you can reload and reuse the casings. This helps offset the cost of premium ammunition over time if you're into handloading.
What size game is this ammunition best for?
The Tipping Point 2 with a 165-grain bullet is designed for medium to large game hunting, including deer, elk, and similar-sized animals. The controlled expansion and penetration characteristics of the Hornady SST bullet make it well-suited for these applications.
