Couple of Hornady 7mm Bullets

[Aussie Wanderer]

Just thought I would post a couple of pics of Hornady bullets I have recovered this past few hunts. Thought you guys might be interested.

The 139SST was recovered from the fallow buck below. It was a really thick and strong animal. The shot was taken from a 7mm08 at about 90 yards in the scrub. It was recovered from the offside shoulder and weighed 90.9 grains. Deer did a dead run for about 20 metres and fell over.

The second one is a 150ELDX fired from my 280ai and was taken from a red deer I shot at 592 yards (Lasered) and weighed 99.8 grains. It broke ribs on both side of the animal and was trapped on the offside.

I don't normally catch bullets so it is both a little exciting and unusual for me. Really nice to see how these things perform in the real world.

I always had good success with SSTs in several cartridges. That is good performance for both bullets. Handsome little fallow deer, as well.

I shoot a lot of SST's. I'm impressed with there performance and when you consider how much cheaper they are to Nosler's then they represent excellent value for money.

Congrats on your hunts and thank you for showing us those bullets. ELD-X sure expands well out there at nearly 600...

Great report, congratulations on your success. I’d love to find a fallow deer someplace.

I think the earlier SST's were a lot like the earlier Ballistic Tips and both were quite explosive in some calibers and bullet weights.Now the jackets on both bullets are thicker and stay together a lot better.Congrats on your kills.
