Thread: Bullet Performance on game

Ok. Trying to stay out of this but…
165gr SST’s at a relatively low velocity work. Or any SST end of story. That’s what they are designed for. Out of my 308 at 2570 they kill. Up close and out far. Between me and my boys we have shot over 50 from 5 yards to 400 yards. Again they work.
We have shot probably 20 using my old 7 x 57 and SST’s - end result - dead.
As for the 143 grain Eld-x out of a 6.5x55 - no contest. Everything dies and the lungs etc are mush.
Just load ‘em up at the right velocity and use them. From our experience 100 odd reds, and some big ones, shot up close bush hunting, on slips and faces etc they work end of story.
