Here we go again with a dead 8 year old thread brought back to life out of the archives by a newbie! Welcome newbie, but please stay with the current threads, as there are plenty to post in or start a new one!
PS: Your experience with the SST is not unexpected, as it opens up quickly when you hit a big animal like that where you stated. Also, please be informed that the Hornady Interlock is not a bonded bullet and that's what I reload in .243, 25-06, and 30-06 calibers. Their Interbond is their bonded bullet and it's great for bigger game like elk, moose, etc. where you want deeper penetration before full expansion.
