In my experience don't worry about SST's on deer. I have used SST's in various calibers on several dozen deer since the year they came out and never experienced a failure with usually complete pass throughs. The 123s in my Grendel have taken 6 deer in the last two years, all quick kills with massive internal damage. The ranges varied from 20 yards to 150. Like many bullets if you hit a large bone you will get massive splintering but I've never experienced a failure to penetrate. Now they might very well come apart on tough hogs, I'll bow to the experience of DNS on this. Unfortunately I might get to try this out as hogs have been seen on my lease for the first time in 30 years, drat!
