Please do not use the SST for elk. I had two come apart on WTs (a 139gr 7mm from a 7mm-08 and a 150gr from a 308) at very moderate MV of 2550fps. I did not hit big bones either, just ribs. No exit holes, and very sparse blood trails. Yes, I found the deer but they were tough recoveries. I know it is only a sample of two but they were the first two I used. While I would not say the bullets failed, they did not even come close to the performance I want in a hunting bullet.
IMO, they are only good for coyotes and pests.
