Study Notes
Comparison of SST and ELD-X
- Hunter found SST to expansion more violently, causing more damage, but also resulting in less penetration compared to ELD-X
- Hunter's choice between SST and ELD-X based on desired level of penetration and expansion
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
- Primary benefit of SST Original is its violent expansion, causing large wound cavities and quick harvests
- Key feature of SST Original's timed-release delivery is its ability to start expanding quickly, but not too quickly, allowing for sufficient penetration before expansion
