[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 874767, member: 30902"] You are correct. Niether the SST nor AMAX in calibers smaller than .338 should be used on game inside of 600 yards. Remember the pictures I posted last year of the doe shot with the 300WM and the SST? She was deader than dirt but when the pieces of that bullet left a softball sized hole on the backside at least 10lbs of meat followed it through. If you're going to shoot Hornady's at game at normal ranges stick to the Interlock and Interbond. The interbond is a fantastic bullet on everything I've shot with them in the last twenty or thirty years. If you need an even tougher bullet the interlock performs similar to the nosler partition but with much better BC. If you're shooting slower rounds like the .308 and shooting at sub 600yds ranges it's not going to make that much of a difference but the SST and AMAX are not game bullets and really should not be used on game unless you're shooting the big boys in which case you have enough mass to change the whole equation. Now if you like to watch things explode like prairie dogs then they are a very good choice, just not for game animals. [/QUOTE]
