Hornady SST vs Nosler BT

HI Folks,
This year I am switching from my usual nosler Ballistic tip and Sierra BT bullets to the Hornady SST.( because I am using factory loads this year).
How do the SST's compare to the BT'S.

Good Shooting,
HBB

Hornady tells us they are much tougher than the bt but test such as the one in the oct issue of the shooting times show the sst's and ballistic tips to perform almost identically.I have seen two other tests that also had the same results.

Rifleshooter says the SST's are stronger than the BT. I doubt there is any real difference between the two.

HBB,
I have used both on whitetail in .270 Win.
I would rate them about the same.
