Re: .308 Hornday 165gr. SST
i'll let you know how they work on meat after i get back from deer season this year
when i tested them on a pumpkin - i saw expansion after only a 8" ish pumpkin when shooting them outa my 30-06.
they'll be coming out of my DPMS lr308 this year though.
at the distances i hunt - if i do my part - i doubt bullet selection is going to be a big factor honestly

Great bullet, I have shot many deer with that it in 150gr, it has always performed well.

Ive dropped whitetail (several) with the 165's out of my '06 and a muley at 245yds with a 180sst out of my .300wm.....all worked great, the bullet doesn't fall apart and penetrates good with decent expansion.

I've used them on a few deer to this point...all DRT! Ranges from 190 to 405 yds. Did not recover a single bullet, all pass through's, with lot's of damage in between.

i have used the 162 sst for elk from my 7MM RM. it has nver failed to bring down the animal, but everytime i was able to recover the bullet fromt he carcass, the core had separated from the jacket. recently, i have been playing with the barnes TSX
