[QUOTE="Batt4Christ, post: 1521507, member: 108084"] I'm new to the 165gr. Superformance SST in my .308 and have shot two whitetails this season with them (have used the Superformance ammo in my .270 with great results). Deer #1 was a small doe - I had to make a snap shot at fairly close range - entrance through ribs on near side, exit was fist-sized with lung hanging almost completely out. Deer #2 was a 130lb whitetail buck at 40 yards - deer was angled toward me, so I placed bullet just in front of near shoulder (chest). Bullet exited right behind far shoulder. Exit wound was only about 3 inches in diameter. BUT - the chest cavity was a gelatinous glob with heart and lungs literally blown up. Deer fell dead in its tracks. Accuracy is way above average for factory ammo in my rifle. [/QUOTE]
