My opinion of shockwave is formed from the experience i had last hunting season. I was able to view 5 doe killed with a 300g sst. This showed me that there are better game bullets than the sst/shockwave. One of those deer came quite close to being lion food instead of ronnie food, but we were stubborn and tagged it. Was also able to see what a 300g nosler did to 2 doe. There is a great difference in the tissue damage done by the sst/shockwave compared to the damage done by the nosler; very very much better is the nosler. I was also quite surprised at the lack of penetration exhibited by one of the sst after it went through the first shoulder. I would have expected more from a 300g bullet. It didn't even make it beyond the first lung.

So here you have a first hand report of the so so results of 300g sst on doe. I appreciate your concern that i might be passing on hear say, but that is not the case here.

I see no reason to use them anymore. They are not the most accurate, nor the least expensive, nor the most damaging bullet. Also, they don't fly any better than other available bullets.

Next season i will experiment further with bullets on doe, but the sst/shockwave will not be included in these tests.
