    I use Hornday SSTs 150gr,(2969ft/s)deadly out to 400yrds,havnt shot any deer past that with these.But close up on yearlying reds or fallow will most of the time go clean thru their shoulders let alone their gut.
    Btsp s a better stopper.

    I used the 155 Amax in a 308 and 300 WSM...I also used the 150gr Nosler BT's...to be fair I couldn't tell the difference...both very accurate and never let me down.

    I used 155 Amax in a Tikka 595 18'barrel +suppressor with a hot load of Win.748 powder which gave me a speed of 2820fps.
    Shot a stag from 15mtr broadside in front shoulder.
    Stag took less than 10 steps and expired.
    Projectile went through both shoulders, fragmented and a ~ 80grain piece was stuck just under skin on opposite side (similar to the picture from @7mmsaum), both legs where pretty much buggered.

    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.
