I got a chance to smack one w/ my ML10II on Monday Morning when I grunted a 9pt in at 60 yards. He was facing straight on. I waited for a bit but he had me pegged and wouldn't move so I went ahead and busted him in the center of the chest. My ML10 was loaded (Below Zero) in Iowa 3 weeks ago, decapped, brought home, and placed in the safe. I primed it and went hunting Monday morning. She fired w/o hesitation and hit right on the mark. This along w/ me firing it at below zero while in Iowa has made me very confident of the reliability of SR4759. I'm using 44 grains under a bare saboted 250 SST.

To the Bullet performance.....

The bullet was probably in the 2200-2300 fps range when it impacted. It went through the base of the neck, busted through the chest, and made a hole about the size of a half dollar through the center of his heart. Shrapnel got the lungs as well. I did not recover the bullet but it did not exit nor did it make it to the guts. I didn't spend any time looking for it but, I believe it must have been in w/ the clots of blood in his chest cavity when I field dressed him. Needless to say he dropped on the spot.

I don't have any pictures to show but, just to give an Idea he was 14" inside and had pretty short points w/ a 1 inch kicker on one base.

Good Luck

Way to go those sst's and savages are made for each other.

wELL i AM NEW HEAR BUT I ALLSO HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT sst BULLITS FRON HORNADY COMPANIY.

When i shoots them from my KNIGHT RIFLE with the three 7 powder in a very high load i gets the same results as above.Them deer drop most time right wheer they stands but the bullit will come apart insides the deer.No pictures from me either so dont feel bad about it \

I mite add the use of the SSTs has been good with deer dying rite there deer meat in the frezer this yeer and last year from the HORNADY SST BULLITS so all is good
