[QUOTE="MOJO67, post: 976345, member: 68532"] Everyone speaks to the fragility of the SST's, but I haven't experienced it. They obviously do more damage when striking bone, but most cup and core bullets do. As an aside, Hornady has recently toughened up the SST line of bullets. I've had excellent results shooting Whitetail and Hogs with them out of my 270 Weatherby Mag. For thin skinned game, I think they're fine. They're also the most accurate bullet, by far, of all I've tried out of my Mark V. Below is a picture of an exit wound on a little 8 point from a few years ago. Starting velocity was appx 3450. Range, 115 yds. Quartering shot, bullet entered at the crease of the left shoulder.
