I can't help you much on load data and such, but from some testing into wet phone books I'd say the SST is real soft so would suggest staying out of the heavy bones. Both the standard interlock and NBT held together much better then the SST in my testing. However I always thought if you found a good load with them that shot lights out you should be able to easily subsitute a 129gr. Interbond for your hunting loads and use the SST for practice as they have the exact same BC.
