i have used the hornady 150 and 165 grain sst with wonderful results. i reload and have been able to get match grade accuracy with both of these bullets. as far as thier preformance on game. WOW!!! thats the best way to put it. they are comparable to the nosler ballistic tip at half the price. the important thing is to find a round that your rifle likes to shoot. you can buy the best bullet that money can get, but if your rifle doesn't like it, its not worth a dime. if your gun likes the buget ammo. thats what you should shoot.
