Default SST and bonded or not?

Need some opinions. Shot the supplied bullets today at 300 yards, then switched to the SST that I bought in bulk. I shot two targets and both were almost identical, with the second target being only 2 WM bullets and 1 SST from the bulk box.

This has me scratching my 300 YARD head...............

I shoot the 250 grain unbonded (yellow tip) shockwave in the factory supplied black sabot over 100gr of Blackhorn 209. I hunt deer in Southern Michigan and was originally told that the bonded was for hotter loads or bigger game species. With the accuracy and preformance these have given me, I have not changed. I do not go for knock down shoulder shots and prefer to take them just behind the shoulder or much like a bowhunting shot. I have my suspicions that some people who claim no expansion, might be using the bonded, at close range, "hot" loads and never hit bone.

I'm pushing the common SST to hard out of my rifle to use it on game.

After a phone call, I now know that the Whitetail Medicine bullet IS specially constructed by Hornady under contract and IS NOT their normal SST bullet. Pretty much answered my question.......
