I have five boxes of the Hornady 300 grain SSTs that I bought on sale for $1.88 a box. They shoot fine out of my Mustang. But I'm a heart/lung kind of a guy. I won't use a bullet for hunting that I have to put through the shoulders.
Wow, $1.88/box that is a good deal. I am not saying they don't kill, 'cause they do. I would NOT be afraid to shoot them, but best performance is obtained with shoulder hits. If you shoot for the lungs they won't expand all the timeand you end up with some deer with a 200 yard tracking job, not every one but some. That is what I have read/heard of on this forum and in product reviews on Cabelas and MidWayUSA, alsodo a googlesearch for "ShockWave fragments" or "Shockwave doesn't expand" and you will find some content. Now do the exact same Google Search for "Barnes Origonals Fragment" or "Barnes Origonalsdon't expand", I just did about 2 weeks ago andbasically nothing bad on Barnes Origonals showed up.
