[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 576696, member: 10832"] Many shooters have a real hard time understanding the design of particular bullets. SST's are not controlled expansion bullets. The polymer tip opens them up very quickly by design. Therefore you should not be aiming at the point of the shoulder. But if you use traditional aiming points, or take a high shoulder shot you will be just fine. They are a very good bullet IMO and shoot very well in my 30-06 also. My son shot a nice mule deer buck this year with the 150 grain SST's. At 200 yards the bullet impacted right behind the near shoulder leaving a small entry hole and breaking a rib on the way in. It penetrated completely leaving about a 1 inch hole through the offside shoulder. The lungs were mush. If you are one of those hunters that can wait and pick their shot then you will be very happy with SST's. If however yo are one of those that has to instantly shoot regardless of shot angle, etc then you will be more happy with a controlled expansion bullet that will get good penetration through bone and long angled shots.
