I shoot Hornady Supeformance SST in 150 grain out of my Browning X-Bolt Stalker Long Range. I get 3,103 FPS and .82" groups at 100 yards. I shot a black bear at 370 yards and a Whitetail buck at 340 yards last fall. Anything I have shot with this round has died on impact, the rounds are devastating on game. I've shot them on steel targets out to 660 yards, they are fast and lazer accurate. I won't buy any other factory ammo now except Hornady Supeformance in GMX.
Said at the top you use SST
Then at the bottom it's GMX

SST is traditional cup and core ,red tip,interlock.
GMX is a solid copper of gliding solid copper bullet.
So which one do you use.
They might offer both in the Super performance line up,and they look exactly the same.
Two different bullets.

Is that a deer or a juvenile moose?

That buck is definitely a tank. Looks like its a good thing it didnt go over the hill. The SSTs obviously work well for you tgomez! Nice critters!

Yes I am aware they are two different bullets. I never said I use GMX, I said I would only buy GMX other than SST.

Thank you gentlemen. Yes, I didn't want him to make it back in the thick brush. The buck was feeding in a little opening just long enough to get prone and take a solid shot off of the bipod.
