Correct. And out of my barrels the SSTs weren’t very accurate.

The projectile will be stuck on th hide on the opposite side of the deer. Will be switching to the 120gr Noslers when I run out of the SST.

It’s been my experience that the 120gr NBT is a more rugged bullet than the SST and so it holds together better and retains more weight to get a pass through.

I did some unscientific research on similarly sized hogs and determined that the 120gr Sierra PH gives even more pass throughs. The animals are just as dead with any of them though.
