Is hornady sst a ballistic tip bullet? any experience with them?

Basically it's the same thing, they're designed so that the polymer tip is pushed back into a void causing an explosive action that allows the rest of the bullet to expand extremely well. Much cheaper than the Noslers.

I tried the 150gr bullets in a 30-06 and the accuracy was good but didn't try them on game .They don't make them in .243 cal.or at least I have never found any .

The SST is a heavier jacketed polymer tipped bullet that should exit a deer's far side.

They're very accurate....at least as good as Nosler's Ballistic tip, and do a very good job. There is a 95 grain .243 SST and I've used it.....it really works well!!

they are just like the nosler ballistic tips. never shot them but the NBT's shot great in mine.

Yes the sst is in 243 also,just ordered a box to try day before yesterday,(100gr or 95 gr. some catologs say 100gr some say 95gr.)
I have been shooting them since they came out,took several deer with them in different cal.They work great in my 260,7/08,280,and 30/06.From 45 to 200 yds never had one to stay in the deer all complete pass throughs even shoulder hits.Have used NBT also and they worked great too,but I get 50 more bullets for just a little more money.
