Spaniel-I see what you are saying,but varment bullets are in a whole nutter class,speed wise.I have had problems with SST not expanding unless they impacted bone,as have others. Just like most things in life some swear by them,some swear at them. I have not been happy with SST,performance rate was 50%,although I recovered all the deer. I think maybe they would perform better at lower speeds and shorter ranges with the tips removed.I may be all wet though. They might blow up.
