Mike I'm not a fan at all of Hornady SST or any other bullets except the GMX so I can't help. My son shoots a .280 on a pre64 action that loves 140 grain Sierra's and 139 grain Hornady GMX with max doses of IMR4350. This gets it done with Mule Deer and whitetails and no doubt they will work on elk as well. His rifle shoots around .5 for 3 shots.
