[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 298892, member: 8927"] My experience was that the NBT was easier to get to group. The SST was very fussy, about 0.5 grain either side of the sweet spot doubled or tripled group size. From memory the best load with both was 58 gr ADI2209/H4350, WW cases federal 210M primers. Vel about 2700 from a 22" barrel. I shot a few red deer, hinds and stags with the NBT at close range 8m - 30 odd in the bush, I never lost an animal although not all dropped on the spot. Not all shots exited, but I didn't see that as a problem as I could see the dead deer from where I shot from. Stu. [/QUOTE]
