I shot 6 deer with the 150 SST out of a 308, They were accurate and killed quickly, I had exits on 5 of the 6 and the sixth hit the shoulder going in and the lead core exited and I found the jacket under the skin. My feeling is that the 150 is a decent choice for deer in the 308 or 300 savage, if I were loading for the 06, I might hedge my bet by going to the 165. If you like quick expanding bullets that kill pretty quick and you can avoid highly raking shots where lots of penetration is needed they might be a good choice. If you want a bullet that will make two holes and penetrate on the tougher shots, or hunt where black bear or big pigs are a thing, there might be surer choices.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
