Arrow:
Not in the same class at all. The 120 BT was the darling of the silhouette shooters and accidentally became a great game bullet. The SSTs I have shot were like fragging the deer although I have not tried the 120x7mm iteration nor will I be likely to do so. They will without question kill deer and fast too but if they are like the other SSTs I have used don't shoot for any part you want to eat.
I think they would really shine in the 08 or 7x57 or lesser velocity 7mms but when you have such a great bullet like the BT or even better the Barnes why use it? On the other hand the SST would be great for a reduced recoil load for the young lad. I think it opens up at 1600 fps or somewhere around there so a reduced load would be good for as far as a youngster should shoot.
To me most of this is moot as practically anything that goes bang will kill a deer.
