[QUOTE="ithinkimissed, post: 1093677, member: 90888"] My other a-bolts LOVE the SST's. I was getting one inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards with a completely factory a bolt II 30-06 and the Hornady Custom 150 SST's. most of the groups had two touching and an outlier. I'm somewhat a noobie at shooting and have poor eyesight and not that great of a shot, but guys at the range would swear i was handloading those SST's too hot and they were tumbling when i'd bring back my targets from down range and holes were touching. I would shoot the SST's but I primarily shoot to practice for hunting and I prefer a bullet with more penetration than the SST's. The two wallhangers I shot last season had NO blood outside of the animal much less a trail. One dropped (spine shot) the other ran 60 yards and it took me an hour to find him (don't ask lol). So then i switched to federal premium loaded nosler partitions (the ones i cut my teeth on) for more penetration but they don't group so well. I'm going with the Berger's this year if they group OK. I'm in South Carolina, mainly deer hunting. I can see you're a browning fan as well. I don't know why but i have 4 a bolt II's but only one with a BOSS. what makes you stick with browning so?
