Anyone use Hornady SST bullets?

[Duckslayer89]

I've talked about this on here multiple times but long story short is they probably didn't expand at all.  Me, along with my dad and a few others shot them for a season with similar results.  They just punch right through and don't open up.  My buddy Dan shot his bull at 25 yards, hard quartering to shot.  We pulled the bullet out of the hind quarter and the dang red poylmer tip was still on it!!!  It hit multiple bones as well.  I used the rest of mine for target practice and never looked back.

What caliber? I shoot them in my 338rcm and they expand like crazy and blow big exit wounds out. I opted for accubonds in my 308 though.

This is the muzzleloader thread man

Dang sorry! Newb here!

Sabotloader, how much powder do you use behind that?

110 grains of T7-3f in a Percussion Gun and 120 grains T7-2f in a 209 ignition...

Just for a conversation piece - this target gives you some velocities

3 out of 4 shots into a deer did not expand. I will be going back to straight lead.

Took my first muzzy buck with them last year.  We got 2 deer down with the 250 gr Hornady SST this year.  Both double lung shots with 100 gr 777 FF.  One deer dropped in its tracks, the other ran a small circle and fell almost back where he was shot.  Recovered one bullet, was a perfect mushroom, so no complaints here.
