I have used the 165gr sst for years in a 30-06 and will continue to do so. Switched to them from 165gr ballistic tips because I wasn't getting the terminal performance I wanted. I have only had 2 not exit. Both large bodied bucks, the first quartering toward entered in front of left shoulder and stopped under hide in front of right quarter, the second was quartering away and I hit the base of the neck. Bullet ended up at the base of the skull. Both DRT. I have zero complaints about them.
