[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1226837, member: 86754"] Best meat saver for me is also the Barnes ( though I am looking forward to try the Hammer in my 358 Norma :) ) I'm not sure the SST is stout enough, even in a 338. The heavier, thick skinned more muscled up animals , like elk and plains game are tough on the lighter made bullets. At minimum, a 250 gr Partition would save more meat than an SST, IMO. I used the older 185 XLC in the 338 WM on cow elk and it was great, I used the 210XBT in a 340 Weatherby on plains game, same great results. We also used the 180XBT on lots of plains game, from Impala to big Gemsbuk...as said, eat right up to the bullet hole. On the other end of the spectrum, I used a 310gr Woodleigh in a 35 Whelen Improved on a 200# Eurasian hog at 30 yds!, No bloodshot meat at all, just a 40cal entrance with a 75 cal exit, jello in between. I highly recommend the monos, and the Hammers sound like a great design to me ( I'm not trying to get a discount on them by saying this, ha) Good luck to you Pard. [/QUOTE]
