    I'm with you Sawman, I'm just not trusting the SST's nor the ELD-X's anymore after what other people have gone through, what I've gone through and watching comparison videos. I saw an Accubond vs the ELD-X, essentially an SST, and with the 300 winmag there was hardly anything left in the gel they tested it in of the ELD-X as it had shed most all of its' casing and lead.

    Finally went out Sunday and Monday to shoot some of my "test" rounds. Pretty impressed with the 95 gr. SST and 100 gr. Interlock accuracy. I like both loads using 32.0 gr of powder. IMR 4064 produced the tightest groups. Some older gentleman added some shots "x's" haha.

    Great shooting. 32.0 definitely seems to be the sweet spot for both bullets. Next step, decide which bullet and go kill a deer.

    Thanks, I loaded up some 95gr SSTs for hunting. They seem to do the trick if I do my part. Took these 2 doe today in PA. I couldn't find an exit on either. Both were good lung/heart shots.
