Default RE: Hornady SST Bullets

Indiana,

Good work on checking up with them. However, have you heard of any problems with the 200 grain SST blowing up in game? I've heard some issues regarding the .45 250 grain "regular" SST, but not the .40 200 grainers. I've been shooting the 200 grainers some recently - they are the most accurate bullet I've found in my CVA (1.25" 3 shot 100 yard groups). I haven't had a chance to shoot a deer with them yet, though. I've been very happy with the terminal performance of the 200 grain XTP's, though - and my understanding was that the SST is basically the 200 grain XTP with a polymer tip, but I could be wrong.
