[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 239995, member: 13285"] Been shooting .338 cal 225 gn Hornady lead tip interlock bullets for 20 years and they are my standard load for walk em up deer hunting. My load only shoots about 1.5" but is ok for its purpose. I recently purchased some 225gn Hornady SST projectiles for long range work. I tried them out a few days ago, only got groups about 2" nothing better. Thought it must be my load but maybe its the bullets? I did notice that the plastic tips are very soft! If you press your finger nail against them they bend right over. Nosler A.B.s" don't do that. I wondered what they would do under full thrust when being driven down the barrel? I think they would flatten right out. [/QUOTE]
