[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2307108, member: 104437"] @ Feenix,.. Yes, the OP, probably needs to get, an estimate of, his Bullets BC and the Velocity at, 600, 700 Yards, etc., to see, WHEN it Stops, "expanding" to, a descent, sized, "Mushroom" that, tears, a NICE sized Hole, thru an Elks, Heart and or, Lungs. Lots of Elk hunters have had, good success with, "Boiler Room" placement with the SST's and yes, they are, a bit, "Fragile". I've killed, both Deer and Elk with, the regular Hornady Interlocks and InterBonds, but NOT,.. the SST. I was guessing at, 700 -750 Yards and you might be right about, 600 Yards, Max ! I'm NOT, a Fan of using, the Ft pounds of energy, "theory" as, sharp Arrows, slice up an Elk lungs and they Die from,. lack of Air ! I've seen lots of, LUNG Arrowed Elk, die in 100 Yards or, less. Hopefully somebody that, HAS used this Bullet at serious distance,.. will Chime in. [/QUOTE]
