Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 308 win with 165 sst suitable for elk?

Thanks for sharing the target pic.

When I tested 200gn .338 SSTs against a tough target of some dry magazines they turned to dust and small fragments of copper. With the magazines wet, they did ok. I guess I'd use them on deer, but no chance on elk. Too many excellent other bullets that I would have complete confidence in, to include excellent C&Cs like the HotCor or Ballistic Tip.
