Heading to WY for billies and deer in a week or so. Had good luck with Hammers but as always, wanted to try something different. Due to the increased cost and scarcity of typical bullets (Bergers, Noslers, Barnes, etc.) I decided to go out on a limb and try out the Hornady SST.
I am taking a Remington 700 in 6.5-06 shooting the 123gr Hornady SST @ 3150 fps for goats.
And taking a pre 64 Win model 70 30-06 shooting the 150 gr Hornady SST at 3000 fps for deer.
Both are shooting MOA or better. And I picked up both boxes of bullets (100 ct) for around $38/box. Thought I'd try something cheaper and more readily available than the other big names.
Hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the arss. ?
