[QUOTE=".30US, post: 1203755, member: 19108"] I think I remember reading about your experience with the SSTs and have always avoided them since, I just have a buddy who swears by them, but I don't know what his experience with them is. I bought some 175gr. Nosler ABLRs on clearance recently, but was really looking for something light since I usually shoot 162gr A-Max. Where I'm going to be deer hunting, again, this Fall only has a max range of 450 yards from my favorite stand in any one direction, though some of the other stands I hunt can go nearly out to 1000, but there is nearly a constant 20-30mph wind. I used my .280 this past year with factory Norma 156gr. ammo. I thought I might try something lighter and faster next Fall since I can't take any chances on having to track...if a doe gets more than 10-15 feet either way, I have to go into the thickest, thorniest, rattlesnake-filled brush you can imagine! I had great luck two years ago with a .243 I rebuilt in school, and enjoyed the .280 last year, but I have a heavy-barreled 7mm Rem Mag that was the first I ever threaded, myself, and was thinking something flat shooting would be fun in it. After I take all of my management does, I'll be shooting coyotes, hogs, and javelina, too. My little .243.
