I thought I saw a post about the SST coming out soon in 20ga. However, when I went on the Hornady site I was unable to find any info. Anyone out there remember that link?

It was on the home page under new products I think.

Thanks, marylandeer. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Cookieman,

I talked to Steve Hornady a few months ago about them making the 20ga SST, he said it is in the works and will be available in the fall of 2006. These are lighter and slower than the Rem and Win offerings so may not have quite as much FPE but should be a better BC. The 20ga SST is 250 gr vs 260 gr in the Rem & Win, and the 12 ga SST is 300 gr vs 385-400 gr in the Rem & Win. Can't wait to shoot some myself.

Yep! According to their ballistics, 1331 FPS AND 983 FPE at 150 yds. That would make an excellent deer gun for up here in the woods and the occacional corn field shot that might be encountered. I'm in. Now I just need to get a Tracker 20 before next year's deer season. Hmmm, another Handi. That's a GOOD THING.
