Hornadys an' boattails are fine ifn you wanna wreck yer deer. On anythin' bigger, you may never find the critter. Been against these bullets fer many a year til I heard thet they were "improved". So bein' the fair minded individual I am, I gave the Hornady SSTs a chance on antelope Sunday. They shoot real good, I'll say thet. One shot, 306 yards, dead buck. The base of the jacket stayed right in the roast. Common with boattails. The core divided into two pieces an one lodged in the other roast, the rest of the core an' many lil' flecks of jacket exited on the 3rd rib, passin' thru the heart an' stomach. The jacket pieces were imbedded all around the exit wound, long with stomach contents everwhar. Stick with the partitions an' such. These cheap bullets may shine on paper, but they sure ain't fit fer game.
