[QUOTE="Mostly Tailfeathers, post: 2001949, member: 115890"] Ducklkr, Your post prompted me to look at the SST on the Hornady site. The SST is not advertised as a frangible bullet, just the opposite, they talk about its weight retention. I have shot four mule deer with the 139 grain SST traveling at 2900fps.. The deer were from 80 to 280 yards and the deer were shot just behind the shoulder. Three of the bullets passed through and the other was found just under the skin on the opposite side. In the two deer you shot the SST did not seem to perform as advertised, do you think this could have had to do with shot placement, bullet speed or distance of shot? thanks, MT [/QUOTE]
