[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 383889"] I'm not sure whether you'd get full expansion at 1600 or 1700 fps. My guess is no, it won't perform as well as a BT going that slowly. As far as the SST bullet itself - it's quality. My son took a moose last year with his little Rem Model 7 6mm and the 95 gr SST - the bullet performed flawlessly. Granted, it was going way over the 1600 fps that you asked about. Thinking more about it I think I'd opt for the heavier BT or V-max if I knew contact was going to be made at under 2,000 fps and if expansion/transfer of all energy was my concern. [/QUOTE]
