[QUOTE="signature542, post: 383850, member: 14798"] Hi In the 270 win myself and other buddies use a lot of 130gn SST's We have taken Thar, Chamois, Red Deer and Fallow... 58 gn of 2213SC very accurate .mild load. All 1 shot drop on the spot...... had an exit on the red and rear leg recovery on the front chest shot Thar. I use a lot of 180gn SST's in the 300wsm.... Last Sambar Stag at 236 yards took a low shoulder hit ...shattered leg taking heart etc and penetrated diagonally to under the skin on the opposite rib cage . Recovered weight under the skin 90gn...lovely mushroom the rest must be in the Sambar! I'm not worried about 100% retention as I have a bit of experience with bullets that are too hard! He rolled after 5 steps and after I watched his leg crumple and jump in heart Another buddy uses 180gn accubonds .. recovery around the same weight at 100 m...Blaser 300 win mag .. Let me think..dead is dead.... 100 in a box versus 50... I get 19mm groups from the Howa 300wsm with custom wild dog stock... (68gn re19 with the 180 SST) Its not broken, so I'm not changing to anything untill the SSt's fails me. Its not the be all and end all but they work well . 3 of us will not use the Barnes TTSX any more. Interbonds in 270 win 130gn are also bang flop stuff..Hog deer last weekend! I have used Accubonds before no issue... in fact the 160's in my T3 sporter 7mm RM shoot .389 so I'll keep you posted on this front. All good bullets I just like the fact that there a 100 in a box and thats more practice! I have also purchased some 225gn SST's .338's whilst waiting for my custom Edge..just to find out if they work as well and i need something for run in. Another one that has worked well in the .338 win mag is the 250gn Hornady HPBT SST.. Night Force software is pretty well matched with this one. Sierra 300gn are non existent down under at the moment.
