[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 37185, member: 8947"] Been having really good success with the 140gr SST. I would expect them to fit a 142grMK throat as they are longer then the 142MK. Have had no problem shooting these at 1/4MOA or better from a hunting rifle. JustC, surprised that you have made the Amax work but not the SST. My rifles shoot them both equally well. I have found the SST like to be close to the lands or at least fully engraved before leaving the case neck. I use H4831SC and they really respond when loads get at or near max. My 6.5-06 loads are very toasty but groups are small and consistent. Using CCI BR2 primers if that helps. Just started playing with the 150gr SST in a 270 Savage 110. Max load with H4831SC drops them into 1/4" groups at 100yds. Looking forward to launching further out to see how they respond. For both rifles, the groups shrank the hotter the loads got. I hope that will get your rifle shooting SST's because they are a great bullet. The 140gr SST has a BC that is certainly much higher then print. Jerry [/QUOTE]
