If I could do that I would have no need of a wife.

That's something I don't need to see

I would not call sst's a true long range pill, but VERY effective open country mid range 100 - 600 yds (1800fps). I have never had an issue with pencilling. But the sst construction and jacket are tough compared to pills AMAX or the like. I use 154SST's in 7mm (7x64 & 7mmRM), 150 sst's in 308 and 165SST's in 300 wsm for the open country. Bush hunting cant go past the good ol Partitions. Long range for = amax or Bergers.

And 600m is an f'n long way for most people (myself included) in a hunting situation in often less than ideal weather conditions

SST are my GO-TO projectile.
Shot Tahr, Chamois and Reds with them in 260, 270 and 308 and 90% of the time find the projectile on the offside shoulder under the skin.


@veitnamcam - you're not allowed to have any sauce on the sock and phone..

It will never happen just like a sst will never pencil threw at normal velocitys, they are very frangible as you know.

ive shot deer at 10m with 165gr in my 308 thought the chest small in hole and 50mm exit hole. deer at 300m small in hole and three exit holes.both times deer didnt walk more than 10m .deer at 200m front shoulder. it went throught both shoulders .there where 2 exit holes and the deer just fell over.i love them.the do make a mess of magpies aswall.lol
