I have heard people say they don't open up and other people say they fragment; and yet some others say they are the same as Shock waves which work just fine for me with a load of 120 or 130 gr depending on which gun I am using.
WHAT load were you pushing them with? I use 250gr XTP when I know my shots will be less than 100yds. They will work well all the way down to 100gr. Lee
I do know that they fragment. I cleaned 4 deer in the last 2 weeks that were shot with SST's, and every one had copper pieces in the wound tract. My son is using 130 gr Pyrodex behind a 250 gr SST.
