I dont really care when over 90 percent are bang flops and the others never made 30 yards
Bingo!!!
Works for me. Some of mine are pass throughs and some are not.Most of the 200 pound hogs thati have shoot in the shoulderare not pass throughs: This may be because I use lighter charges than most.Hit low behind the shoulder it passes through. It matters not because the pigdrops in its tracks.

I think someone, who is a proponent of SW/SST has gotta do the testing at 70g, 80g, 90g, 100g, 110g, 120g, 130g, 140g and 150g into sand like FG has done with the PowerBelt. I honestly believe the bullet is too hard up front, I have seen evidence of this in pictures of cross setions of SSTs, they are thicker than XTPs, about like the XTP Mag, therefore they are going to have a difficult time opening up when shot real hard, and especially on between the rib hits behind the shoulder, they basically are punching right thru, killing the deer no doubt, but exiting by taking out anohter rib with little expansion. That is my theory, but I am not going to do the testing, because I don't believe the bullet is a good terminal performer--except for shoulder shooting. Please do the 200, 250 and 300g SW. Who will be the champion of that cause? Who will be the FG of the SW/SST? Lee, falcon?
