For large game including sambar, red deer and scrub bulls, the 140 gr SST projectile in 6.5MM from Hornady is a hunting projectile worth a look. It measures .264" in diameter with a G1 ballistic coefficient of .520, and it suits deer and larger-game hunters who want fast, reliable expansion at typical rifle velocities.
The SST (Super Shock Tip) is a polymer-tipped hunting bullet built to deliver heavy shock on impact. The hard tip drives into the lead core like a wedge to start rapid but controlled expansion, and a secant ogive with a boat-tail base gives a flat trajectory and good stability. A mid-body cannelure and the InterLock ring mechanically lock the core to the jacket, which keeps the bullet together during expansion for high weight retention and a good chance of a complete pass-through.
