My two daugthers (13 and 16) have been shooting the 139gr SST out of their .280 Remington with good success.

They have shot six elk between them, at least 6 deer and three antelope and the bullets worked fine.

A couple bang flops on the elk and they are extremely accurate.

From what I've seen first-hand, no worries IMO.
