[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 2054109, member: 17112"] Well shortly after using them up I started mainly hunting with my 6.5 SAUM. So unfortunately the stw doesn't get used very much these days on meat. This was back in 2016-2017 or so and this group of new shooters made the comment that only .30 cal and bigger were suitable for shots to a mile or more. Challenge accepted. Long story but I worked up a load with the then new 183 SMK and showed them the STW was capable. After that, I had some 180 Berger Hybrids and started using them just bc I had them. There is nothing wrong with 168 Classic. I just know some people prefer an exit wound so I always note my experience with them. At stw velocities with that bullet design I don't think you'll see an exit hole. [/QUOTE]
