we used to hunt with the 250 gr. shockwave sst ..these bullets are very ACCURATE in most MLrs. we don't shoulder shot our deer [waste of good meat] we shoot behind the shoulder [lung shots] and the HORNADY SST were not the best hunting bullet on the market ...no blood trail .complete pass through = lost game ...we are now shooting the BARNES EXPANDER 250GR. and our loosing deer problem was solved..
