    if you see what @crunch has put then what @EmpireSafaris has put... you see two very very different loads
    both will work IF AND ONLY IF you get your shot placement right the SST will work if you use the crease shot or high in neck...high neck not ideal for big reds and crease really only a side on option
    the monos ES favours do work BUT work best when encounter some resistance..EG bone to help break em up or make them work..if they zip through ribs without hitting anything on way in...well not much more resistance than a average sized hare so a pencil like effect....
    the 130grn monos are worse as going slower...the 110grn tsx is the best of the barnes lot from all Ive read and seen...Xman on the 6.8 forums did an absolute shit load of mono testing a few years back,Ive followed the results closely... the 0-300 is no big deal to sort..the 300-400 is where you are going to need to be careful
    75/15/10 black powder matters
