Product Overview
Black Hills loads its Gold 154-grain hunting round with Hornady's SST, a polymer-tipped bullet with a lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps with 3,077 ft-lbs of energy. That is a slightly slower start than Hornady's own Superformance 154-grain SST, which uses the same bullet, and the trade shows up at the muzzle and in recoil.
Compared with Hornady's Superformance 154-grain SST, the Black Hills load starts 100 fps slower with 210 fewer ft-lbs, and it kicks about 4 percent less in the same rifle. Compared with Winchester's Ballistic Silvertip 150, another polymer-tipped hunting bullet, the Black Hills is also 100 fps slower at the muzzle, with 123 fewer ft-lbs, and it kicks about 2 percent more in the same rifle because its bullet is 4 grains heavier.
Buy the Black Hills Gold 154 if you want Hornady's SST with a little less recoil than the Superformance 154-grain SST. Pick the Superformance 154 if you want the extra speed; Hornady markets it for large game. Pick the Ballistic Silvertip 150 if you want a lighter polymer-tipped bullet that starts faster; Winchester markets it for big game. Pick Sierra's GameChanger 150-grain TGK if you want a lighter tipped bullet at the same 3,000 fps with less recoil.
- Starts with 80 more ft-lbs at the muzzle than Sierra's GameChanger 150-grain TGK
- A polymer-tipped SST, where Hornady's American Whitetail 154-grain InterLock uses a plain soft point
- Kicks about 4 percent less than Ammo Inc's Signature Hunter 154-grain SST in the same rifle
- Leaves the muzzle 35 fps slower than Hornady's American Whitetail 154-grain InterLock
- Kicks about 5 percent more than Sierra's GameChanger 150-grain TGK in the same rifle
- Ammo Inc's Signature Hunter 154-grain SST leaves the muzzle at 3,100 fps with the same bullet weight
