Default RE: Hornady SST

I have killed three animals with the .270 130 gr. SST: antelope, deer, and elk. The load is going 3370 fps out of my .270 Ackely Improved.

The antelope was about 250 yards broadside and the bullet hit his ribs and passed through. Buck ran about 50 yards and piled up.

The deer was a 180 class whitetail buck at a ranged 411 yards - looking at me from the other side of an alfalfa field. Bullet hit the front of his chest, penetrated through one lung, went through the diaphram, and wound up just under the hide in the flank. It had lost almost all its core and just the jacket remained.

Elk was a mature cow elk broadside at about 150 yards. Shot hit her in the shoulder and the bullet came apart without making it into the chest. Had to shoot her again in the neck.

Based on these results, I don't think they hold together quite as well as the regular Interlock. I have not tried the Interbond yet on game - theygroupedpoorly out of my rifle.
