[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 613728, member: 2693"] Well, I didn't want to freak too much because the guy in the picture is a Major in the Air Force and is a ENT doctor. This was his very first kill with a rifle, ever, so I didn't want to take anything away from that. The pronghorn was 234 yards on shot 1 and the remaining shots were all less than 50. It is understandable how we all offer advice based on our experience. I use to work in a gunstore in Tucson in the late 80s/early 90s during the summer when I was out of college. It was then I saw the Nosler Btips for the first time and I used them for MANY years on a ton of deer and never once had an issue of any sort other than taking a dead deer home to process the meat. So I always highly recommend Btips if someone wants a tipped non-bonded bullet. I've had 100% pure success with them. As to SSTs this was my first experience with them via my buddy. My second was on a wolf hunt in which another friend had to shoot the wolf more than once. Coincidentally, it was a 270 and 140 SST factory ammo. And here he is with his wolf: [img]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n124/cdlcheck/2-24-2009-145.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
