[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 316314, member: 1007"] Honestly, the 190 SMK has performed very unpredictabley in hunting situations. Hornaday makes the 190 BTSP which opens quite nicely and has a decent BC. It is published at .490 but I have always found it to be in the area of .515. Also I would be looking very hard at the 180 or 200 Nosler ACCUBONDS. The 200 AB has a very good BC. It is higher than the 190 SMK and the 200 SMK. Either will give you enough remaining velocity at your ranges and then some for reliable expansion. If you demand a higher BC than those that are good for hunting then maybe look at either the 210 Berger VLD or the 208 AMAX. Ibex hunts are not cheap or easy as a general rule. Dont put all that time, money and effort into it and rely on something that unpredictable such a bullet that may or may not deliver what you NEED to be successfull. Maybe not what you wanted to hear but that is my .02 [/QUOTE]
