Triple Se7en

I agree with both you (ankster) - and I do not think I ever said the bullet was a failure, I am indicating from what I have read and seen the SST/SW is not the best performing bullet at close range unless it strikes a bone and begins expansion. The speed of and the design of the SW enhances its ability to pass through thin skinned animals with often little or know expansion at close range. Mind you the animal is dead! but it may not be dead quickly enough. Anyway quickly enough for me, I would like every animal to be anchored in its tracks - tall order I understanded. At longer ranges I have know problem with the SST/SW.

My point was, I believe there are better bullets for a ML at close range than a SST/SW. If you are constantly hunting or may take shots at longer range use the SW, but for me most of my shots are goingto be less than 75 - I prefer a bullet goes in one size and comes out bigger on the other side every time without speculation.

But!, that is just me to each his own...
