The SST-ML is a phenomenal muzzle loading option and an excellent choice for long range blackpowder hunters. Other "easy-load" bullets often fail to properly engage the rifling, which does not effectively stabilize the bullet and, as a result, accuracy suffers. But Hornady sabots fully engage the rifling to keep the SST-ML centered and sealed during firing, allowing for maximum velocity and unparalleled long range performance. Upon impact, the Flex Tip is compressed into the front of the bullet, causing the bullet to expand. The speed sabot features a fumble-free method of pre-loading pellets.Patented Flex Tip - Flex Tip design delivers devastating terminal performance at all rangesSurgical accuracy - 200+ yd performance50% easier to load - much easier to load than conventional sabotsHigh performance - Hornady sabots deliver the highest velocities and the flattest trajectories on the market
