i have been working up a good 30-06 load for whitetails this season and have narrowed it down to two; the hornady sst and the nosler balistic tip. both are running right at 2900 fps. accuracy is a wash; i just dont see much if any difference between the two. the balistic tip has a slightly higher BC than the sst, but at the ranges i will be shooting (very unlikely to get a shot past 200yards) i dont think that it makes any difference. the only real difference that i can see between the two is the price, with the noslers costing a bit more. given the similarities, the only thing left to figure out is how they hold togather on game. so has any had any experience with both? i know the balistic tip has a pretty large fan base but i dont hear much on the sst.
so for whitetails at 200 yards and in, considering the same bullet weight (150gr), same velocity, same caliber, same gun, etc. which would you choose and why?
