[QUOTE="Warren Barrett, post: 29769, member: 497"] [b]Re: Thoughts on SST\'s(long)[/b] Flopduster, I agree with Jerry. The 140 or 150gr. SST would be the better choice. My experience with the SST`s has been the following with muzzle velocity of 3250fps pushing 140 6.5 cal. SST: 1) 325yd shot on large cow elk through shoulder without hitting shoulder bone. Complete pass-through with quarter size exit. 2) 215yd shot on mature white-tail doe quatering to me. Bullet strikes large shoulder bone and exits opposite side about 8 inches in front of rear leg with quarter size exit. 3) 411yd shot on mature white-tail doe broadside shoulder shot breaking large shoulder bone on entry and exiting opposite side with quarter size hole. So as you see, I like shoulder shots also. The deer have dropped in their tracks, while the cow elk ran about 75-100yds. As a side note, these bullets have proved very accurate with my experience.
