[QUOTE="SpeedymanWCC, post: 2707857, member: 121149"] I used to use Hornady 45 caliber SST/shockwaves in my TC Omega .45 ML. I had nothing but problems with them. They wouldn't expand at all on broadside deer at 100yds or less. 40 caliber hole in 40 caliber hole out. Which led to extremely long and strenuous tracking efforts. So I started shooting them in the shoulder and it would cripple the deer. After having to finish two deer by hand with a knife, I had enough and moved to Barnes expanders. The shoulder shots resulted in bullet failure. The tip, core and outside cup were sitting on the other side of the shoulder blade. These bullets are 40 caliber pistol bullets, not meant for 2400fps rifles. The bullets are trash. Barnes punched a big double lung exit hole and the deer was DRT!! [/QUOTE]
