Enjoyed reading all the replies about the same kinda blow up results I got with 1st generation 130 gr .277's Nosler Ballistic Tips, only now it's SST's. Still damn hard to beat plain old Interlocks in my book. The 165 gr 30 cal SST bullets shot well in 2 of my 308's but haven't used them on deer yet and prolly won't. Loaded some of the 225 SST's in my 338-06 at over 2600 fps for deer, didn't get a shot on deer that day but smacked a coyote on the move with one it took out 4 ribs and a chunk of the shoulder blade. Down he went and as I was cycling the action up he came, taking off over the ridge into the draw on the other side. Made about 35 steps before he died. Guess maybe i'll use the rest of them on PD's?. Damn coyotes can be tough but jeez. I've shot and liked the accuracy from A MAXes but have not put them on meat. How are the new ELD X's?
