Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles SST vs A-Max

I have 2, 260 AI's. One on a 700 and the other on a Borden. Both sporter weight rifles with Rock and Brux barrels.

Both shoot the 123 SST and AMAX within .5" of each other and usually between .5" and .75" at 100.

The SST's worked very well on the 5-6 antelope and deer I have shot with them. Only shot 1 or 2 deer and 1 coyote with the AMAX and they also worked well.

Furthest I have had a deer travel with either was 7 of my steps on a 3 year old mule deer buck shot in the last rib on the on side and exiting right behind the shoulder on the off side. Everything was scrambled between entrance and exit.


Both these guns shoot either bullet equally well.
