Thread: Bullet Performance on game

Found the sf sst in 165 gr in my 308 pretty average to crap for bush stalking. Considering my 308 is 24 inches and the round is going pretty fast (2800 fps) .
Too fast for close up and out to 100m range. Most animals ran , some quite a distance before falling over, even hit in the shoulder.

Not ideal for the bush so changed to the fed fusion in 165gr. So far so good but both deer were neck shot . Mate shot a stag i roared in from 20m in the back of the head with a 7m mag.
He was using the sf sst 139gr and it didnt exit and shed its core as well. Think they a good projectile at distance and when the speed is reduced.

If going too fast they crap. I shot a Bull Tahr with my 308 with a sf 150gr sst from 310m and that totally pole axed it , was impressed with that.

Wouldnt use them if range is close and personal
