A buddy shot moose (2 broadside pass thru's at 200 yards), several elk and mule deer with a 180 SST out of a 300 WM. No bullet blow up, just dead critters.
What is funny about the SST is you have some guys saying they work great and then others say they don't. Kind of like the Barnes TSX. I realize this thread is about the ELDX, but if the SST works as well, I'd buy those. The 7MM 162 ELDX seem to be hard to find right now, where I can go out and buy the SST's.. Hornady says the SST is basically a more "streamlined" polymer tipped interlock bullet.. I've used enough interlocks to know they work just fine on deer and elk..
Folks tend to forget that their way ain't the only way.
Shoulder shooters might hate a soft bullet that is devastating if driven
into the ribs.
The opposite is true of a harder bullet driven into lungs.
Guys who are great shooters/shoot from blinds/over bait/dam picky about
the shots they take...can use anything if they are neck shooting.
