[QUOTE="jumpmasterkolo, post: 2134224, member: 116925"] My (new) only issue with SSTs is on wet animals. I shot a nice buck this year who took off down a ravine and died. After recovery, I was cleaning him out and noticed his entrance wound side lung smashed against his heart. Looked like his heart actually smashed thru his lung. I washed him out and started looking for broken ribs, an exit hole... anything. I found the bullet on the outside of two cracked ribs in chunks covering a 2”-3” area. I did some research and found out that in tests, bonded bullets penetrate wet hide much better than unbonded. BUT like you said, a “hot” ABLR could just punch a laser beam thru the animal allowing it to expire much slower. Taking that in to account, I am now making both rounds (SST and ABLR) and trying to get like grain bullets to fly as close to each other out to 500yds. This way I have one round for dry and one for wet that fly close to each other. (STILL IN TESTING) [/QUOTE]
