Thread: Hornady SST

Put 139gn SST's thru my .280.

Shoot similar groups to you there, but if I really try can do a ragged 3 shot hole.

5 shot groups are sub moa if I do my part, but never achieved a 5 shot ragged hole. My shooting isn't good enough.

I'm not one to muck about with loads. Have a SST load and a Sierra 140gn SBT Gameking load. Only because I got given two boxes of SBT projectiles.

Everything I have shot at dies unless I miss. 20m to 500m. SST's do make a mess.

Some people say on big animals SST's explode and don't penetrate. Personally I haven't had that problem. Shoot big bodies animals regularly.

Men with more dead animals on the deck win the arguments

Men complaining of pencilling animals and not retrieving them loose
