Hornady SST
 

Hello all,
Myself and a friend have recently decided we are going to start reloading since he inherited all of the stuff from his dad and the cost of factory is getting ridiculous. I wanted to reload accu-tip because that is what I have been using from Remington. But when I was looking at bullets the other day I ran across the Hornady SST bullets. They are the same price as the noslers I can get 100 instead of 50. And the articles I have found on them seem to be pretty promising bullets. Does anyone here reload them and what is your opinion of them?

I shoot them in my muzzle loader with devastating results, and plan to load them in my 300.

They were very accurate in my .300 Wby Sako. Worked well on deer too.

They will work fine on deer size game. Very similar to the Ballistic tip from Nosler. Brett

load them and love them. they work. i shot a big doe this year in Ks. at 277 steps and she dropped wher she stood. i then shot a big 9 at about 175 and he staggered back three steps and tipped over. the only shot i had on the 9 was facing me, i used a bipod and was prone. i know this in not one of the best shots out ther but i have been shooting this same rifle for several years and you know how that one goes, you look, shoot and hit. im by no means a match shooter or anything like that but i had 100% confidance in my gear and ability and put the steaks in the freezer. btw, this was done with a 243 and i am pushing the 95gr. sst at about 3000fps.

They are excelent! Like you said,1/2 the price of Nosler BT's and work just as well...

I have used them on deer with my muzzy, and pronghorn in my .270, devastating results on both, and very accurate. I have some loaded in 06, and I will try them this coming weekend on deer. I ruined the off side shoulder in the muzzzle loader deer, I have never seen one bullet do so much damage, but the only place she went after the shot was down, that's the way I like it.

I tried them in my 7-08 and couldn't get them to shoot as well as the old interlocks of the same weight. The same for my .223 vs the Nosler ballistic tips. I can't speak for the 30 cal bullets. I have good luck with the Hornady Interlocks and Sierra Game Kings in my '06.

I think the SST's are great. I use the 7 Ultra, 139 grain SST on deer sized game, accurate and very deadly. Usually crushes the game on impactand if it doesnt go down immediately, odds are its leaving avery goodblood trail. Hard on meat if the shot isnt placed well, Im after horns so I really dont mind, that much less to carry out. Can always tell a good hit with the SST, the "smack" sound is more profound than in the barnes Ive used in the past.

I haven’t had much luck as for accuracy in my 7mm-08 with the 139, 154 & 162 gr. bullets but I’ll try them again this summer...
