[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2095616, member: 109862"] My theory that’s developing as I follow this is that not all ssts are of similar jacket thickness. Sort of like the Nosler ballistic tip. The 180 Nbt compared to the 168 holds together and penetrates much deeper than a mere 12 grains of extra bullet weight can account for. It’s meant to perform at .300 win mag power. the 123 sst is specifically built around the grendel. When designing projectiles around lower power cartridges like this the big thing to ensure is that they’ll still open up at range. The ssts in 270 are probably primarily designed for the .270 win - and weatherby, wsm, not the slower spc, they have a 120 just for that - these cartridges require the emphasis in projectile design to be more about avoiding completely blowing up at normal hunting ranges. would explain a lot.
