[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 984231, member: 67011"] Personally, I'm a really big fan of the SST. But I'm shooting it a lot slower than you are. Velocity is a big concern with this bullet. It is very soft and higher velocity rounds often give it a bad name. It performs wonderfully out of my 260rem (140gr), but I could see your 7mm mag having problems with it. If I shot the same bullet I'm using in my 260 out of a 264 win mag or a 6.5wsm I would expect explosive results. If you switch to a good bonded bullet you might be surprised at the difference. I'm also a meat hunter, but I'm also a big fan of a clean and quick kill. Sometimes you have to experiment to find out what works. That 7mm is great long range round. If you can shoot it good, stick with it. Try a different bullet. [/QUOTE]
