If you search for my post in the fall of 2020, you will find that the 95 SST is an absolute hammer when launched by Lever. I bought my first ARC barrel the day after Hornady announced it and started load development on the SST, 90 and 100 gr tipped game changer (the TGK with a new name), 90 and 103 gr eld-x’s. That CMMG barrel liked the SST’s the best and it accounted for 2 bucks a doe and 23 hogs that first hunting season if my memory is correct. I just built my third ARC this past October using a Krieger barrel from Precision Firearms and the SST is still hitting homers!!! I’ve lost track of how many hogs it has taken, I’ve only had to track one doe about 30 yards. If your barrel likes it and shoots it well it’s gonna be hard to get the grin off of your face! Lastly, I no longer use Lever I have switched to Accurate 2520, same velocity (in the Krieger 2520 gives faster velocities than Lever and it’s a whole lot cleaner), cleaner burning and doesn’t drop as much velocity in colder weather as Lever does. Hope this helps a little.
