Hornady SST's thru your M-14?

[pharaoh2]

Yes I searched, no I didn't find.

Is anybody using either the 150 or 165 SST bullet in their M-14 and how do they fly? I used to shoot the 165 out of my .300 and the accuracy was awesome. I'm thinking I would like to try them in a .308, but curious what others have to say about it.

My reloading supplies are 15 years old! What does SST stand for?

SST's are my standard M14 round.
Here's my info (STANDARD "WORK UP YOUR OWN LOADS" DISCLAIMER!!!)

Wincheser brass, Winchester primers, 45.0 gr IMR 4895, 165 gr SST for 2750 fps from standard length M14. My rifle consistently groups 3/4" with this load, never had a failure of any sort. I SB resize my brass and it gets tossed after five reloads; I only trim if needed.

my deer hunting load is:

Hornady 165gr SST ,
43gr Hogdon H4895,
CCI 200 LR primers (very hard.. they don't dent when I chamber a round)..
Winchester or Remington Peters brass..

shooting from a Norinco m-305.. factory barrel, USGI stock..

trajectory 100 yds +2.5"
200 yds 0
300 yds -9.5"

average group size 100 yds 1.5"
200 ydd 3.5"
300 yds 6"

I've had better groups and worse groups.. above are average.. some days I shoot really good, other days not so good.. variations could be because of wind,temperature, time of day or most likely ME.
