Hornady 30702 SST 30 Cal .308 180 gr Super Shock Tip 100 Per Box/ 15 Case

I've used these SST 180 gr bullets a few years now. I developed a load for a 2022 moose hunt. I did shoot a moose, both the guide and I thought it was a good shot but no blood trail. Five of us searched the next day, nothing. This is silly after the fact but a year later I decided to shoot that round into ballistic gel. I also shot Nosler partition, Sierra Gamer and Barnes TTXS (multiple get blocks). The Hornady SST 180gr was the worst. The lead separated from the jacket, expansion was 0.45 in, weight of lead&jacket 106gr, shrapnel was 43gr, penetration into 10% gel was 15in. The best...TTSX, then nosler. I decided to repeat the test with SST and TTSX. The SST again separated from the jacket with poor penetration. The TTSX performance matched the first round ie 28in penetration, 0.6 " expansion, over 99% weight retention. So, I use the SST for target practice because they do have reasonable ballistic coeff and more affordable price.
