[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2850615, member: 11853"] The SST's went through some changes since the first came out,just like the Nosler Ballistic Tips did over the years.I'm not sure when,but the jackets were beefed up a little to make them less explosive.The problem is,externally they look the same and unless you know for sure you have the newer ones,you could easily still be shooting the older explosive versions.I personally never shot anything but paper with the older ones after hearing how explosive they were.I was guiding a kid a few years ago on a whitetail hunt,he was shooting a 7-08 with 139gr SST's.He killed two deer.Both deer ran about 75yds before they died.The bullets left very tight wound channels through the deer.Both bullets exited.The bullets performed much like a tough bonded bullet and didn't leave hardly any blood trail at all.
