I am going to reload using Hornady SST bullets. I have been told some local "experts" that SST's have been noted to "blow up" on deer. I would guess that would mean fragmenting and little penetration. I am going to use these in a .30-06 Ruger MK II, for shots out to 200 yds. Has any one had any experience with this bullet on deer, moose, elk, or maybe a hog.
