A .525bc 150g SST at 3000fps carries the mail a loooong way out. Can't see a 140g VLD out of a 6.5 Swede with a similar length bbl staying with it. Sorry, shooting game at 750y doesn't interest me.

Hi Bob17,
3000 fps with a 150 grainer is .270 WSM book vel.
What are you using for powder, and what is your barrel length?
What kind of groups do you get at that vel. and how do the SST perform on animals larger than N. Amer. deer?
Just checked my .277 bullet stash but see no 150 gr. SST's..
That may change depending on your experience using them on animals larger than deer..
TIA


Gday N,

In the 24" bbl a compressed H4831sc charge got me good accuracy at 2990fps.

R22 got me more. I like using the local stuff most of the time though.

Wild cattle and horses hate the 150 SST, though I prefer the 160g NPT where they're the intended game. 2840fps there with 4831.

The 130 SST is a different beast. I don't use them any more.
