The whole idea behind an SST bullet was to give good expansion at "long" ranges (i.e. after the bullet had slowed down). The problem with that is that people shoot deer at short distances far more frequently than at long range. SST bullets traveling at high velocity do fragment terribly. This results in lots of body damage (i.e. sometimes valuable meat) and frequently poor penetration.
So, for your use you need to determine what it is you are trying to accomplish and use the bullet that meets those needs. Don't just load an SST simply because it looks cool or because somebody's brother says they like them. Use the bullet designed to do what works best in your particular circumstances.
