Description
The HSM Tipping Point 2 is built on the principle that great hunting ammunition requires both match-grade accuracy and reliable terminal results. Loaded with Hornady's trusted Super Shock Tip bullet, this round delivers the kind of consistent performance you'll want when the moment matters most.
What Makes Tipping Point 2 Stand Out
This load pairs quality components with straightforward engineering. You get new production brass cases that are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, paired with premium powders and primers that have earned respect in the reloading community. The 165-grain SST bullet offers a solid balance for the 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, providing a flatter trajectory than heavier bullets while maintaining the energy you need for effective kills on elk, moose, and other larger game.
Hornady SST Performance in the Field
The Super Shock Tip design combines controlled expansion with deep penetration. The polymer tip boosts ballistic efficiency and improves accuracy downrange, while the bullet's construction ensures it holds together even at the high velocities the 300 Win Mag produces. Real-world testing has shown these bullets perform reliably across a wide range of hunting scenarios, from close-range shots to extended distance work.
Built for the Long Haul
As an HSM product, this ammunition carries the reputation of a company built on American manufacturing standards. Each round is loaded to consistent specifications, which means less variance between shots and more predictable performance when you're dialing in your rifle at the range. The reloadable brass adds value for handloaders who want to stretch their investment further.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tipping Point 2 good for elk hunting?
Yes, the 165-grain Hornady SST bullet is well-suited for elk at typical hunting ranges. The round delivers solid energy and penetration, with controlled expansion that works across a broad range of impact velocities. Many hunters have successfully taken elk with similar loads in the 300 Win Mag.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Absolutely. The brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, making them attractive for handloaders who want to maximize their ammunition investment. Just inspect cases before reloading for any damage or defects from firing.
What's the difference between 165-grain and 180-grain loads in 300 Win Mag?
The 165-grain load trades some bullet weight for flatter trajectory and slightly higher velocity. It's an excellent choice if you hunt at moderate to longer ranges or prefer less recoil, while 180-grain bullets offer more retained energy at distance. Both perform well on large game when properly placed.
How does this ammo compare to factory loads from other makers?
Tipping Point 2 focuses on match-grade accuracy paired with proven hunting bullets. HSM prioritizes consistency in component selection and assembly, which translates to tighter shot groups and more predictable field performance compared to some budget-focused alternatives.
