Both of those are varmint bullets. Not big game bullets

If i buy from a store i allways buy rem cor lok. Ive had so many crappy situations with the hornady.
Yes they look cool, nice box packaging and good looking presentation. Shooting at paper is either spot on or not even close. They just zip right theough animals and leave a small hole (unless it hits bone) and tracking is a joke cause theres either no blood or a drop the size of a pin needle.
When i reload i even get the core lok bullets.

We will agree to disagree. The SST bullet is not a varmint bullet in my mind, more of a medium game. Check out 68Forums for all the info you will need for the 6.8 round. Almost everyone is hunting with 120SST's with great success. I will say my rifle is most accurate with Hornady or Silver State Armory ammo. I havent had a chance to try the Barnes TSX but I will very soon. I am honestly scared to due to the price, and I am sure I will like them.

Don't get me wrong, those SST's killed everything I hit, in a 2 week period I took down a buck, doe & hog. None had an exit wound though, the hog's chest cavity was completely shredded, the buck lost a right lung and I double lung punctured the doe. All 3 ran and the only one that left a trail was the doe because the entry wound looked like an exit wound. Maybe its based on distance before entry but its almost like the round exploded on contact. Atleast that was my experience. Hunting in the thick brush, a good exit wound is a necessity IMO, and a Barnes or Nosler should give it in a 6.8. I might get back into that caliber myself.
^^Bingo. Hence the reason I refuse to hunt with them. I've preached about those type bullets till I am blue in the face
