[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 576693, member: 28854"] I have found that they shoot to almost the same POI and so do the Interbonds that are the go to bullet for elk IMHO! I was using 150s on both the animals I mentioned because I couldn't get 165s at the time and just stayed with the 150s with great performance. I would probably go up to the 165 or maybe the 180 Interbond in my 30-06 if I ever decide to shoot another elk. I think part of what you have mentioned is the distances the animals are being shot. It seems that the SSTs may be best for long distance shots at maybe 300 yards or more where the velocity is slowing down some and allows the bullet to penetrate and expand while at shorter distances they seem to explode violently when the velocity is a lot higher. That is the only explanation I can come up with to explain why some love them and why I had such poor performance at shorter ranges with them. Anyway, I have enough SPs and BTSPs in both calibers now to reload them for the rest of my life because I like them so well for all ranges and sizes of animals!!! [/QUOTE]
