Hi there,
almost by incident I've bought a pack of S&B "PTS" for my 7x57 today. Then I checked the ballistic data. Wow. Less initial velocity but hey, at 200m they outperform my RWS stuff by 500Joules!
The
S&B PTS are said to be identical with
Hornady SST.
Dou you have any experience with these?
Here's what Hornady say about them:
Quote:
1) Premium Polymer Tip
The sharp point increases the SST’s™ ballistic coefficient, making it faster and flatter shooting. On impact, the tip also initiates controlled expansion at all velocities.
2) Secant Ogive, Boattail Spire Point Profile
It’s a simple fact: bullets that travel faster hit harder. The Hornady secant ogive, boattail spire point profile gives hunters the incredible speed and downrange energy they’re looking for.
3) The InterLock™ Ring
Ensures the core and jacket remain locked solid during expansion, so the SST™ retains the mass and energy needed for dramatic wound channels. Perfected in the famous Hornady InterLock hunting bullet.
