[QUOTE="fj40mojo, post: 455645, member: 19129"] Can't speak for the BTs but I have seen 3 deer shot with SSTs and all 3 were clean kills DRT. 2 of 3 were complete penetrations (140grn 6.5mm) and the one recovered bullet (165gr .308) broke both shoulders on a good sized mule deer buck at 75 yards and retained better than half it's original weight. None of these bullets were being driven at warp speed(<3000fps), I recon if you are driving them at wrap speeds you may want to pick a more substantial bullet like a Barnes or Nosler Partition. At longer ranges you may be OK as the bullet will have shed some velocity by the time it gets out there. [/QUOTE]
