Regardless of the SST bullet, did anybody else wonder about a 300 lb buck?
That is a really big whitetail.

I have seen a few that were probably close to that weight but never had a shot opportunity.

That deer dressed at 240# and 186" of bone. The one I killed this year was a 8 year old that dressed at 220# and was a 154".

Using Superformance Powder I was flying 1800 SST's at 2850 fps with a 1" group at 100 yds. Barely under max load. One must work up but it's very poor powder at low pressures.
