SJ, I too have taken deer and lopers with great results on the BT. It just so happened I was given the SST to try by my gunsmith and they flew dandy. He ran a batch up of handloads and they are tack driving. I actually didn't even consider price, that doesn't factor much in my desicion process. He's going to run some 150 gr Bt's, then I 'll decide following that. Thanks for your input.

Power, talked to my guy tonight and told him of my results. He said he hasn't been able to get the load right with Scirocco's, doesn't know what to do. If you find one that is good, let us know.

Power don't worry, get the wife to shoot your Elk or like my dad, he only takes 3 bullets, 1 for the animal and 2 quick fires to say...hey come help me drag my animal......LOL
