[QUOTE="Craig Miller, post: 2601277, member: 107958"] I’ve never used any .30 SSTs but I have used 95gr SSTs in .243Win, 123gr SSTs in 6.5G, and 130gr SSTs in .270Win. All have done an admirable job on whitetail. The 6.5G requires closer attention to bullet placement because of the combination of lower velocity and softer construction. If you want to hunt hogs with the same load, be very mindful of placement as I have had one each from the .243 and 6.5G come apart in the gristle plate of larger (>150lbs) hogs. [/QUOTE]
