Much as I like the Hornady Interlock, I like the SST a little better because it doesn't batter the nose of the cartridges in the magazine during recoil. Not that it makes much difference at the deer distance where I hunt. Watching Lock-N-Load last evening on the Military Channel, they had a segment on Hornady what looked like a .308 fragmenting vs. SST vs. FMJ in ballistic gel and the SST did 18" with a heck of a large early permanent cavity. Now that they toughened them up, I'm shooting up all my old ones that gave me DRT on my last buck, but no exit and to my way of thinking, no exit is a bullet failure.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
