Cross section a 250gr SST and FTX...You wont find a difference in jacket thickness. Call Hornady and ask them. The only difference was the tip. The SST used to have a harder tip than the FTX.

Im nearly certain they are identical bullets now. The Shockwave ive heard still uses the harder old style tip.
