[QUOTE="cgarb, post: 1375088, member: 55318"] I loaded 150 SST's for my stepson's 270 on an elk trip. He came out with a pair of Maggie's drawers on that trip, so I don't know what the terminal performance on elk would be. RL19 , can't offhand remember the charge weight but It chrono'ed right about 2980fps. Did take a whitetail buck with it, complete pass through with about 1" dia exit hole. Dropped on the spot. The 130 speer SPBT he used to shoot would never exit a deer. Usually find the slug trapped between the ribs and hide on the opposite side. Judging from the difference in performance on deer I feel the 150SST would be a good elk bullet on a 270 win. [/QUOTE]
