[QUOTE="g0cherr, post: 1700233, member: 22133"] I load 150 gr SSTs for my daughters 30-06. MV is 2724 and is loaded down to reduce recoil. The load is fantastic with a consistent 1/2” group. She shot her small mule deer buck last fall at 40 yards right behind the shoulder and it looked like a gernade went off. The entry hole was 3” and a blood trail a foot wide. He made it 30 feet. We found just the copper jacket under the hide on the opposite side. The damage that bullet caused was tremendous. My question is; how will it do on elk with a thicker hide? Will it fail to penetrate deep enough? [/QUOTE]
