Don't you just love that resounding SMACK sound a 120gr SST makes when it connects solidly? Exhibit A:

Yes, yes I do love that sound but it doesn’t compare to the 300 grain 12 gauge slug hitting a hog lol

Ran out of 120sst's a few weeks back and now shooting my supply of Fusion 115's. I hate the Fusions, nothing goes drt except coyotes and even they get up and run too often. I miss my SST'S!

It's the best part of shooting suppressed, I think.

With the wind in my face, the smacks on both pigs were so loud and clear...any night hunting is good but this one rates in my top 4-5 outings.

6.8 SST = Simply & Sufficiently Terminated
Everything I have shot with it so far has been DRT!
I do want to try the 95 TTSX. I believe those would be top notch also.
