Hornady SST or GMX bullets for a 7mm08.
« on: August 08, 2015, 09:06:58 AM »
Just wondering witch bullet you'll like the GMX is a 95% copper bullet that retains weight.  Bears are the primary target.

We use the SSTs with really good results.   I am very comfortable with them.

We have no experience with the GMXs.

I shot my bear last year with a 7mm mag and 154gr sst @ 629 yards. I recovered the bulle. the lead separated from the jacket. But I did find the lead and jacket both stuck under the opposite shoulder skin about 1" apart.

I've shot a few deer with sst's in 308 and 30.06 at much shorter distance with great results. They straight up do damage at close range under 100 yards.

D, those SSTs are lethal. I knocked a bear on its side from 337 yards before having time to take one step. Definition of DRT. They fly really well too.
