ORIGINAL: Hurricanespg

I have used them in both the 30-06, and .243, and they have performed well. They generally expand very quickly, and all have had a niceexit hole.
What grain were you shooting in the 06? I always shoot 150's but was thinking about going with the 165's in SST's.

I shot the 150gr SST's in the '06. Like I said they did well, expanded quickly, and left a nice exit hole.
I have not tried the 165's just because the 150's worked well.

I've had very good results with 130gr handloads in .270win, but as far as making a deer dead I cant tell a difference between the SST's and Nosler ballistic tips, which cost much less.

Come on all these replies and no one has yet bashed the product in question? Well, I'm not going to start I use SST's in a few rifles and have had wonderful results ( on deer sized game).

IME behaves justlike a Nosler ballistic tip, rapid expansion bullet designed for longer range performance. In my case the NBT simply out shoots the SST.

On the flip side Hornady Interbonds out do the Nosler Accubond in my 7mm rem mag in terms of accuracy. With a little tweaking of my load I was able to equal the outstanding accuracy of the Ballistic Tip with the IB. In terms of game personally shot only 3 deer with the IB but not one has made it more then a few steps. My hunting partner has used the IB to harvest deer and elk with excellent results.Been abig fan ofBT's for deer sized game they haven'tlet me down but becoming an IB fan as well.

I shoot federal premium in all my rifles. I considered trying Hornady but found theydon't load .300 WSM! I'm assuming its due to their partnership with TC (.30 TC round) and Ruger (.30 RCM). So I'll stick with Federal. I've always had great results.
