Well I am back and the SST performed just like Nosler BT's on 5 deer. Big holes, big damage and short travels for the deer. My deer was a true hawg tipping the scales at 300 dressed, we esitmate his live weight was a good 350. Using the 154gr SST out of my 7 Rem Mag, I hit him at 100 yards through the right side and out the left shoulder. It completely tore the lungs and heart apart ( the bottom of the heart was the only vital organ able to disgunish the rest was all jello) and wrecked the left shoulder. The only thing holding the left shoulder on was hide and some tissue...a real mess. The deer never took a step, went down in a heap, went uff and that was all she wrote. I never have liked shoulder shots but since I had the rib on the right side and knew the left would offer backing I took the shot, it worked out better than I would have ever thought (except the waste of the left front shoulder).

The other deer taken with the SST were out of 06 in 150Gr, with similar results as you know from the nosler BT's. Big holes and lost of damage, the longest travel was 100 Yards. I would say definetely exceptable and what i would expect. However any claims that the SST is more solid is pure bull they behaved just like the BT, IMO. I will have no trouble loading them for deer again, but only if they continue to out shoot my BT's on paper. Fine bullet none the less and if you are looking to save some cash they are cheaper than Nosler BT's if they will shoot the same for you.

Thats my season and field report on the SST. Now I just have to wait 10 more months to start all over again......BOOOOOOOO.
