[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 83406, member: 3532"] DO NOT even think about using an sst on elk. It is as frangible or worse than the ballistic tip. We have used them on whitetail deer here in wisconsin and are getting huge holes and lots of bloodshot meat. While I'm sure it could kill an elk it simply isn't up to the task when bone and tough shots will be encountered. I sincerely believe the interbond came about because Hornady knew the plastic tip on top of the well liked interlock(which is what the sst is) was causing much faster expansion that was desired on big game. Re the cannelure affecting the flight of the bullet I can only think it would be so minimal it just wouldn't matter at all for any reasonable hunting ranges. [/QUOTE]
