[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 384109, member: 505"] I am rehashing a lot of what I put on Michael Eichelles thread about light 338 bullets. Recovered several and that is how i know what they do. Data is on the other thread. His thread is sst bullets. I am also a bullet nut and have studied them for over 40 years testing them. The hornady interlock bullet is the toughest most reliable controled expansion bullet out there that I have found unless you go to a monometal or partition type bullet. I assumed the sst was just an interlock with a plastic tip on it. I am extremely surprised by your 180 grain 30 caliber sst blowing up. That interlock bullet in particular is one of the toughest bullets I have ever shot and the problem with it is it not opening up enough at slower velocities, not blowing apart. So with the sst it must be a completly different bullet. I have shot many 180 grain flat base interlocks out of my 300 mags, 300 ultramags and 30-378 wby's to over 3500 fps and never had a failure. They are perfect controled expansion every time. Maybe we need to start another thread and discuss this further. [/QUOTE]
