    SST are known for not preforming at higher speeds, aka the 130gn in a 270 at 3000+ at closer ranges.
    I used some factory ammo 129gn SST in my 260 when I first got it, 2650fps over the chrono and they killed very well inside 250yds.

    I run the 129 SST at 2700 fps in my 6.5x55 and they work a treat.
