Default RE: Hornady SST Bullets

I've only shot one deer with it so far. I used the 165 gr. SST in my .300 Weatherby last year to take a nice 11 point whitetail. The distance was about 25 yards. The deer was slightly quartering toward me and I shot it right behind the shoulder. The entrance was about the size of a nickle and the exit was the size of a silver dollar. There was a considerable amount of blood on the ground from where I shot him to where he fell, which was only about 15 feet away. Considering the rifle I shot this bullet in and the short distance to the deer, I would say this bullet did a really fine job. Since I generally don't use the ribs for anything, I lost absolutely no meat at all.
