Default Fpb vs sst

Hey guys,

Quick question here.

My dad's gun shoots a 300 grain Hornady SST (with the red Sabot, can't remember what they call it) the best. It is also easier to load than is the 385 Great Plains (the bullet I use).

I have seen information on people using the FPB on elk, but do not see any information about the SST.

So, what are the differences between the FPB and the SST, besides bullet diameter, weight, and the hollow base on the FPB.

I just want "reassurance" that the SST will work on elk and deer this year, but I have not had any experience with it. I KNOW what the Great Plains will do to an elk, so not worried about that.

I am shooting the Great Plains with 90 Grs of Goex 2f. Pops is using 90 grains of Pyrodex Select.

We both have cow elk tags (second year in a row for me), and deer tags for the same area and season dates.

Thanks,

Marcial
