[QUOTE="Sledhead406, post: 1587199, member: 108747"] SST used to be my go-to bullet. It has a thicker jacket and is more controlled expansion than an ELD-M. Ive found it does not expand as much as Id like at extended ranges, but have never had an animal walk away from one. The ELD-M really shines at longer distances and/or when velocities are down under about 2500-2600 fps. FWIW I started top loading a Partition of near equal weight to a couple ELD-M rounds while hunting. I would top load a SST or ELD-X but since they all look nearly identical it could be easy to mix up. Besides the Partition is very hard to beat for close to intermediate range shots. [/QUOTE]
