I cannot comment on the SS's as I have never used them. In 2007 I hunted Namibia for plains game using my 30-06 and 165 grain NAB's. I took 9 animals (kudu, springbuck, impala, blue wildebeast, gemsbuck and Hartmanns zebra to name a few) and all were one shot kills. Distances were mostly under 100 yards with the exception of the springbuck which was about 200. In March I went back and used 200 grain NAB's in my 338. I took 3 gemsbuck, a bull and a cow eland, a hartebeast and a few others. Once again, distances were fairly close and I had no problems. Both eland took 2 shots, but they were anchored and the sencond shots were to finish them off. Hope this helps.
