Performance of SST and ELD-X
- Approximate size of exit hole in animals from pass-through shots via ribcage/double lung was around 2-3 inches in diameter
- At 500m, ELD-X bullet shattered and broke apart when shot at antelopes, resulting in poor performance
- When bullet hit a shoulder on the way in/out of an animal, it often broke apart or deformed, leading to poor penetration and expansion
Benefits of SST Original
