The Ballistic Tips went through a long period of this kind of bashing and were changed several times because of it. Properly used the SST's are good for what they were designed for. All things have performance perameters. The 123 SST is the bullet of choice for the 6.5 Grendel.
This. An SST is NOT designed to hold together like a mono. People get in the mindset that every bullet should be built like a tank or it has "failed". These are designed to be stout enough to reach the vitals and then grenade. If you like that performance, these are GREAT. They work well to pretty low velocity, so you can extend the ranges with them as well.
If that is not the performance you like, choose a different bullet, but that does not make these a bad bullet. They're designed to do something you do not like. It's sort of like saying chocolate is a bad flavor because you like vanilla. Options are good.
