Of the three I killed this year, just one was with a handload. 150gr SST out of a .308. Hit a good sized doe behind the shoulder, complete pass through and took out both lungs. I have used this bullet for years and never had a problem, I swap up between it and a 150 Nosler BT just depending what I have on the shelf.

Killed another with a 150gr Partition out of a 280. Hit her a little high and back but she didn't move. Last kill was a 90# doe with a BAR 243, 100gr Hornady BTSP. Heart shot, took about three steps and piled up.
