SST? Hope you don’t have to do anything like a shoulder shot…..aim between the ribs!
ELDX is not the SST. But I agree with your comment on the SST, not the bullet you want if you have to break heavy bone.
I agree in concept. my limited use of sst (25-06) have shown quick fragmentation, but the reviews online for the 162 say it's a great elk bullet. I'd absolutely want to verify on paper/pigs/etc before using them on an elk hunt.
fwiw..... 162 is a fairly heavy 7mm bullet.
