Wouldn't hesitate to use SST's on anything I was just killing and leaving behind. Always found them quite to very accurate and good killers. My son knows of my concerns about the SST's but still prefers them for his own hunting as he has always done well with them.

I dont reload,so name a high performance308 150-165gr bullet that has a Barnes TTSX projectile in it i could buy in a shop.Nearist shop with sst 165gr is 230ks from where i live.

@Trout I handload just about all my ammo and am not sure what factory ammo is currently available with those TTSX bullets. The Barnes Vortex ammo should though if stocked by the LGS you usually buy from.
Actually, I'll enquire up here to see if I can find anything and let you know.
Alternatively I could even make some handloads for you to try if factory ammo cant be found.

@Trout You probably have a point. I'm not really up to date with these sorts of things, sorry. Did a quick online search and couldn't find anything factory made with TTSX projectiles. I know there used to be ( I bought some Sako a few years ago ) but maybe no recent supplies with the shortages etc.....
I did find the offerings below. Not Barnes but same principal and maybe (?) similar performance if you really are wanting to try mono-metals.

@TeRei I give advice, not take it I just don't want Trout's life to become confusing like mine
