Wow, very nice. That is some seriously flat lookin country! The SST 250 is one of the bullets I'm shooting, have you been happy with it?

I've shot two mulies with the 250 gr Hornady SST. Both died. One was smallish 3x3 at 40 yards slighlty quartering towards me and a behind the shoulder boiler room complete pass through. Quarter sized hole in - half dollar out. Ran about 40 or 50 yards and that was it. The other was a larger 3x3 - head shot at 65 yards - DRT. Sample of two with perfect results.

80 yd shot mostly head on, punched in and took out the heart and lungs and exited right behind the ribs but did not take out any guts thankfully. Got lucky and it just missed them I guess. I just started shooting that bullet about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I sure can't complain about the accuracy or effectiveness. Granted a 250 grain SST on an antelope isn't really fair. But it is my new favorite bullet with the BH209.
As far as flat some places are much flatter than others. Most fields are 1 mile long but their can be some rolling hills and some rougher stuff but we never got into any of that.

Good deal. I've read a ton of stuff on various bullets in the past few days, and the 250's seem to be the most popular for what I'm gonna be doing. The other that I bought to try is the shockwave 200. Haven't shot it yet though.

Dang nice animal Smackerquacker. I've never hunted anywhere but in S.E. Louisiana woods, swamps and marsh. How the heck do you get within 80 yards of an animal on that giant ping-pong table?
My wife says I'm totally nuts, but I think I'm Semisane.

Good Lord, what did that beast weigh? Heckuva deer..
I would love to get your thoughts on this bullet, and other ML questions, but I hate to hijack SQ's thread. If I haven't already..
