1) Flatter Trajectory The needle sharp point of the SST™ makes for a higher ballistic coefficient, which means it is faster and flatter shooting.  This delivers inline performance that can rival your centerfire rifle.  This equates to better retained down range energy for those longer range shots achievable in today's modern muzzleloaders.

2) Controlled Expansion Upon impact, the polymer-tip is driven back into the projectile, initiating controlled expansion at any velocity.  Hornady’s black powder SST™ sabot muzzleloader bullet achieves its controlled expansion with less fragmentation, thus is provides better penetration, because of its higher retained weight and ballistic coefficient.

3) Sabot "Tail"   You may choose to lock on 3 Pyrodex or Triple Seven pellets or trim the tail and lock on two.  In either case it means faster loading for a quicker second shot for your inline muzzleloader.
Available in 250 and 300 grain for $14.95.

Read what Toby Bridges of High Performance Muzzleloading has to say about these bullets.

You will find unprecedented performance from the SST-ML bullet and unprecedented convenience and ease of loading from the Lock-N-Load Speed Sabot.  Its the combination you have been waiting for. 

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Sabot comes in a double pack that includes two separate moisture-resistant 5-load field packs. The pocket-size field packs are as convenient as the loads they hold! (Pellets not included.)

Here are some muzzleloader velocity, energy, and trajectory charts provided by Hornady based on 3 Pyrodex or Triple Seven Pellets (150 grain equivalent).
