I had a complete disintegration of a 180 gr SST in 300WM on a very close shot mule deer. Entry through a rib was enough to spray it and destroy alot of meat. This was my fault on placement too as I was not expecting to shoot so close with a scoped rifle.
I don't use them on the 300WM anymore but swear by them on the 6mm Rem and 308 Win where they drop deer nicely. I have some in 7.62x39 and expect that they will open up nicely at that energy level but need to try em on game to know it. Horniday SST factory loads group well on any rifle that I have tried them on.
