Now that you mention it, I think I had a hornady SST strip out on me a few years ago, but it happened on a whitetail. I shot this buck with my .270 using the hornady SST (130 grain) lightmagnum and he was about 40 yards out. I hit him a little far back and I actually had to put a second one in him to put'em down. When I was cleaning him, I found a couple pieces of the guilding metal jacket close to the exit wound from my first shot. I estimate the bullet was moving at around 3200 ft/sec when it hit him which may have been more than a non-bonded bullet can handle without coming apart. Also, the SST is supposed to be a rapid expanding bullet which, being unbonded, may have had something to do with the bullet coming apart at high-bullet speeds. I kept the metal jacket and if I can find it, I'll take a pic and share it.
