[QUOTE="JackinSD, post: 708270, member: 40641"] I reloaded 95gr SST's in my dad's .243 for antelpe and deer hunting. They were rather explosive. First antelope, quartering shot, hit just behind front shoulder and exit in front of hind quarter. There was little need to field dress that one. Most everything you would have to remove was already laying on the ground from the large cavity left at the exit. Second antelope, barely hit the front shoulder and heart lungs to jello. Front shoulder was a complete loss. The SST's, in my experience, will definitely put an animal down. However, the damage they do at exit or upon hitting bone makes them too explosive. They were accurate in my dad's .243 but we will be looking for a different bullet after the seasons are over. Accuracy is still the most important part of putting an animal down. [/QUOTE]
