NO the SST is a completely different animal. The SST is a cup/core with a plastic tip and tends to expand very rapidly. It is more like the early Nosler BT. The IB is a bonded bullet and will stay together and penetrate well. I gave up on SSTs when I did not get good penetration (on whitetails) with a 150gr from a 308 and a 139gr from a 7mm-08. I switched to the IB and have been very happy.

I use Hornady bullets a lot but I avoid the SST like it was invented by Lee24.
