FrontierGander, I'll agree that the Hornady XTP's hit very hard. However, they have the BC of a concrete block. When comparing the SST and the XTP side-by-side with a rifle sighted in at 100 yds, the XTP will have over a foot of extra drop at 200 yds. That is a huge difference. I'll gladly settle for a bullet that doesn't expand quite as much for 12+" of flatter shooting.
