SST
I use the SST 150s in my 308 Encore 15". I took it on a handgun hog hunt this spring in Texas. I killed 2 hogs and 2 Javelinas with them. They worked very good. Large exit hole about 2" on most of them. Hogs just dropped in there tracks as far away shots as 150 yds. Killed two coyotes also and it was rough on them! Almost took them in half! I also shot a crow out there and it looked like you stuck a stick of dynamite in them. Needless to say I was very imprerssed with the SST. How does a bullet like that hold together well enough to exit a hog yet explode a crow like that?
I talked to a Hornady technician about the bullet before I went. He said the bullet was designed to open down to about 1600 fps. This should make them ideal for handgun velocities. Needless to say I'm a fan of them.
