[WhelanLad]

here a recovered 180gr SST from my .30-08 A bolt.
shot right in the deadly zone of the front shoulder- an recovered under the arm pit of the far side, between flesh and hide.

260meters from a MV of 2550......... poifect

Nice recovery, it didn't blow into pieces as everyone says an SST will do
thanks for sharing

funny you say that.
ive been reading only just tonight about some horror stories with SST projies right!?!
all seem to have a theme of real high velocity an close range!

my vel is down from the get go in the fact i use varget in the 06 an its got a 20 inch barrel... im yet to shoot something in close close but that would preferably be on a hind to see how it performs there.

i shoot the SST on the same Zero as the 180gr BTSP interlocks.... same charge . one just seems to fly a little better?!?
ive a good amount of SST and around 100 BTSP interlocks..

i may of just purchased some 200gr Hot Cors.... but first i have some 200 of 178gr ELDX that i would likely load up an use as a go to round.

sort of deciding if need to worry about SST an just roll with the BTSP..

anyway, over thinkin it a bit...

In the video one can see the bullet.

SST is a BTSP Interlock with a plastic type. All of the BT Hornady bullets shoot very well in my 30-06 out to 300 yards. I have shot deer with SSTs, Interlocks, GMX in 165 gr at very close range with good results. I am not a guy to dig a bullet out of a dead animal and complain about fragmentation. If you are that close bullet placement should be surgical.

That’s pretty cool how it runs towards you to get dressed!

good report, tfs
impact vel would be about 2100 still

have had good luck with lighter/faster Interbonds and have wondered about non-bonded sst's

It’s odd that a 180gr cup and core bullet started at 2550 didn’t blow up?

I would hope not

maybe there is a touch of sarc in those posts
new site is still missing the sarc button

you would need to have searched extensive threads on multiple forums regarding SSTs to put the sarc back into this post, id rekon

So cool to see the bullet in flight! Thanks for sharing WL, and congrats on the successful hunt!

People say the same about accubomb ( accubond) not a tough bullet come apart too easily! I shot my moose last year with 200gr 8x57 going 2600fps and the shot was I side 100m hit a rib going in and rib going out…. No fragmentation inside the animal that we could find!

i thought this was for the ABLR.... the AB is one of the best.

No they have been called accubomb just the regular accubond

yeah right! thats a spin out to me.
if they werent priced like a Gold Bar down here id be all over them

from a 2021 moose, shot at an odd angle as he turned to go, -06 velocity at ~ 80 yds
165 Interbond after zipping through 3 moose ribs on the near side then deflecting to the off side hitting one rib and travelling through that shoulder to the hide. = 143 grs
I would expect the same from any bonded bullet
