[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 295238, member: 8622"] My hunting pard and I tried using the 168 SMK from our .308's on game 12 years ago or so. It didn't work out real well for us. Some complete penetration with what appeared to be zero expansion, others essentially blew up on contact. This was on pronghorn, mule deer and some smaller predators & varmints. Great target bullet but at .308 Win velocity it didn't seem to be a very good hunting bullet. For us. Granted, we didn't use them on black bear. Yet, I've heard from other guys who have had great results from that bullet. Personally I'd go with something else, almost anything else. A 165 gr Nosler Partition comes to mind, or one of the many other quality .30 cal 165/168 gr hunting bullets. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
