I don't have first hand experience with either one. However, I stumbled across a deal last year on 200 165gr SST's. Since then I've kinda kept an eye out and an ear to the ground on them.

From what I've learned, the SST's are not far above being classified as V-Max's. They disrupt pretty darn quick, but performance might improve as velocities drop. I guess if a guy loads to M1 Garand levels, he might be happy enough with them at 200-300+ yds.
