Built for short action rifles that demand magnum-level performance without wasted case volume.
The SST series is optimized for modern high-BC projectiles, delivering efficient burn, reduced bolt thrust, and flat-shooting authority in a compact footprint.
Designed as a competition-oriented cartridge, featuring a 30-degree shoulder for rifles that need fine-tuning to feed at their best, while still achieving the maximum allowed velocity in many popular practical rifle competitions.
The 6mm SST is built to maximize short action performance with modern 110 to 115 grain high-BC bullets seated correctly at 2.8 overall length for optimal case efficiency. Capable of velocities approaching 3450 to 3500 fps while running comfortably within practical competition limits, it delivers flat trajectory, low recoil, and serious advantage for PRS and long-range varmint applications.
The 25 SST bridges the gap between the 6mm and 6.5 with an ideal balance of velocity, recoil, and flat trajectory in a short action platform. Designed around modern high-BC bullets like the 130 grain class, it delivers velocities near 3300 fps and maintains competitive speeds with excellent wind performance and efficiency.
The 6.5 SST was purpose-built for PRS and tactical competition, optimized to run high-BC 140 to 147 grain bullets at 2.795 overall length with smooth feeding in virtually any short action. Delivering velocities near 3100 fps with excellent barrel life and mild recoil, it offers magnum-class performance without the length and inefficiency of longer SAUM or PRC setups.
The 7mm SST delivers smooth feeding and tactical efficiency in a short action platform, optimized to run modern 180 grain class bullets near 2950 fps. It offers a heavier-hitting option for competition and hunting while maintaining the compact, controlled performance the SST series is known for.
Built for short action rifles that demand true magnum performance without sacrificing proper bullet positioning.
The Sherman Short series was engineered around modern, heavy-for-caliber high-BC bullets, optimizing throat length, neck geometry, and case capacity so projectiles sit where they should. No excessive intrusion into powder space. No single-feeding required to unlock performance.
Featuring minimal body taper and a 40-degree shoulder, the Sherman Short promotes efficient, uniform combustion, reduced bolt thrust, longer case life, and consistent velocity. The result is a short action magnum that delivers maximum practical performance without leaving velocity or efficiency on the table.
The 6.5 Sherman Short delivers magnum-level ballistics in a true short action footprint, optimized for heavy 140 to 160 grain high-BC bullets without sacrificing case capacity. With velocities approaching 3300 fps in 140s and near 3100 fps in 160s, it offers unmatched short action performance at practical overall lengths.
The 270 Sherman Shortmag delivers laser-flat trajectory and high energy performance in a compact short action platform, rivaling 7mm class ballistics with slightly less recoil. Capable of pushing 170 grain bullets around 3050 fps and 140s near 3300 fps, it offers serious long-range authority in a lightweight, field-ready rifle.
The 7mm Sherman Short delivers magnum-level efficiency and energy in a true short action platform, optimized for modern 160 to 195 grain high-BC bullets. Capable of pushing 180 class bullets past 3000 fps while maintaining proper overall length, it offers laser-flat trajectory and serious authority for long-range hunting and competition alike.
The 300 Sherman Short delivers true 300 magnum performance in a compact 3 inch short action platform, combining efficient case design with serious downrange authority. Capable of launching 215 grain bullets over 2900 fps and 200 grain class projectiles past 3000 fps, it offers flat trajectory, strong wind resistance, and the energy needed for the largest North American game.
The 338 Sherman Short delivers over two tons of muzzle energy in a true short action platform, combining compact handling with serious long-range capability. Capable of launching 250 grain bullets near 2800 fps and 200 grain class projectiles past 3100 fps, it offers exceptional retained energy, efficient performance, and authority for the largest North American game.
This new Sherman design redefines what a short action .470 bolt face cartridge can accomplish, delivering heavy high-BC 7mm performance in a compact, efficient platform. Built to run modern 180 to 190 grain class bullets at competitive velocities up to 2700 fps from a 28 inch barrel, it brings serious long-range capability without stepping into magnum bolt faces or oversized actions.
Equally at home in competition or the field, it can also drive lighter 130 to 140 grain bullets for hunters seeking flat trajectory and manageable recoil. The result is a versatile, modern 7mm built to stretch distance while keeping rifles light, balanced, and efficient.
