Best Uses

Zero at 200 yards and you will see how little this load drops at normal hunting ranges. That makes it well suited to prairie deer, pronghorn and long field edges. The SST opens fast, so broadside shots through the ribs are ideal. For elk and moose, step up to the 180-grain load. The 150-grain weight also keeps recoil reasonable. Hornady Superformance 30-06 150 grain SST is a good choice for hunters who want speed and a flat path over bullet weight.
