I made a bad shot. Hit the last rib and came out between his legs. Left about a 5 inch hole coming out. Threw a small piece of lead all the way through a ham. Blew up everything inside. Made a heck of a thump when it hit. I would use it again on deer but it is primarily a hog gun so I switched to 185gr ttsx. Don't remember the load with the sst but it was doing 2585 out of a 20" barrel.
