Not sure what 71.25 grains of H-1000 under 140 grain SST's in my 7MM Rem-mag leaves the barrel at? (is there a way to find out, with out a chrno?)
But for a rather less expensive bullet, they sure leave some nice close holes in paper! I am very pleased in finding the sweet-spot with these early in working up a load!
I have yet to put holes in elk with them, but do not expect any problems.
The thought of a bullets coming apart inside a rib-cage of an elk has an appeal to me. That is transferring energy!
Having found Nolser BTs in the rib-cage (no exit hole), the fact still remains. The elk was on its side.
Just thinking a bad hit is a bad hit. I for one am willing to hunt the SSTs and compare the taste.
For deer and antelope, they seem more then ideal. Bringing up the idea that they might not be that healthy for coyote either?
