RE: Hornady SST (copy from gun forum)
The SST are Hornady's answer to the Nosler Ballistic Tip. My experience is they behave very much a like however in a one situation theSSTproved more devasting than the NBT in terms of damage. They are a rapid expansion bullet but should give you the penetration required for the likes of deer sized game. In the 7mm 08 even closer distance shots they should work just fine, just keep em in the ribs. At distances approaching the 200 or farther they excel, expanding well and being boattailed with a higher BC will be less affected by wind drift, etc.
