Steve, I am looking for education here on this subject. wouldn't a heavier bullet, in the same construction - say a 117 hornady spire point vs a 100 hsp, penetrate further? I really don't know the answer here but I wish I had bought the 120 rem ck instead of the 117 sst last week. results ended up ok but I have lost a bit of confidence in the sst. I loaded some hhps and they grouped to the same point of impact as the factory sst. I really need to shoot a deer with the hhp.

thanks for the help.
