[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 865377, member: 12995"] I would scrap the SST's....I've never had too good of luck with them on deer sized game. Try 160 Nosler Accubonds, 168 Accubond Long Range, Berger 168 VLD, 168 Classic Hunter, Berger 180 VLD, or 180 Hybrid. Those should help your deer hunting game. That's weird how they exploded like that. I've had the same thing happen with a 7RM with 139gr SST's years ago on a whitetail. I thought I was the only one who had had a weird experience with the SST's disintegrating on impact. After that I shot them all up at the range, and found something more reliable. The SST's are more of a thinner-jacketed bullet for varmint hunting (I found this out later on down the road), and were not the best option for large game. [/QUOTE]
