[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2600697, member: 121677"] Agreed, any 165 class bullet will be a champ on deer in a 30-06. SST are phenomenal killers on deer, as are the A-Max. Stay away from really big bones and I wouldn't hesitate to send a 165 SST from an -06 for elk either, really good hunting bullets. My primary deer shooter is a 308, running 168 A-Max at a bit over 2800 out of a 26" barrel. My son shot a 350 pound boar hog with it using the same bullet, result was a dead hog with an exit wound about 40 yards from where it was shot. The SST is a little tougher construction than an A-Max, and both are very accurate bullets. I use both with total confidence. [/QUOTE]
