You know, although I am a huge fan of the Hornady SST in both 250 and 300 grain flavors...

I have shot and effectively harvested dozens of deer and other game with the 240gr Hornady HP clothed in the green sabot.

Same thing goes for the lowly and often picked on patched roundball, dozens of deer harvested. In fact, I've shot more deer with a PRB thaneverything else combined.

I believe that shot placement is everything, regardless of what your shooting. That said, a more destructive projectile will without a doubt be more effective when the shot placement is less than ideal.
