RE: recovered bullets
"Anybody got any recovered 250 or 300g SW or Hornady SSTs? Lets take a look at them? To start the discussion, please look at this thread in PDF format:"
Take a look at theSST i recovered from a deceased hog. It is posted on this threadalong with the photos of lots of bullets that were fired into lots of different kinds of non-living media.That bulletwas fired from a laser measured distance of 190 yards. Take a look at the 240 grain, .44 caliber XTP thati recovered from the body of the second deer that it killed. It was fired atabout 130 yards. A deer or hog is not gelatin. The tests of bullets fired into gelatin, sand, wet newspapers and wet clay arenot indicative of what a bullet does when it hits a pig or deer.
For some reason you have a big problem with SST bullets. How many head of game have you shot with SST bullets? SST and XTP bullets have worked well for me.So far thisyear i have killed 14 hogs with SST and XTP bullets. Not one of them went over 10 yards.
I will say it again, lots of folks have trouble with bullets because they do not put them in the right place.
