The accuracy was great but the bullets would not expand on deer.
I have heard this same story about the SST/SW, especially at close range and at the velocity that you are shooting the bullet. Where this bullet really shines is at long range shots... 100 yards and beyond - the higher BC of this bullet makes it a lot less difficult to shoot those longer ranges + at the longer ranges and the lower velocities the bullet seems to work great....

But not to fear,Hornady makes a 10mm 200grain XTP, that you can buy in bulk, - this bullet will really work in those close range situations and will shoot very well out to 150 yards, well actually further but you have to start compensating for drop...

I have been shooting this bullet a lot this year using 110 grains of T7-2f and a blue MMP 50/40 sabot, it really does perform well. I will use it this year during a late season deer hunt and I will use it with a lot of confidence.

Good luck...
