DRT all.

55gr. V-Max does the same. wink

I'd expect that with a V-max, was surprised to see varmint bullet expansion with a 180 gr. NBT at 3K fps.

I shot a 300# boar at 225 yds, 140 SST out of a 6.5-284 at around 2,900 fps. Put a clean hole right behind his ear, entrance/exit wounds about equal. I didn't expect that, was looking for more expansion. Same gun/bullet ruined a Pronghorn cape at 385 yds. with a huge exit wound.

Go figure. I quit using SST's because of erratic performance. Drilled a WT chest without much (enough) damage, deer ran 150 yds.
