[QUOTE="malcarjeb, post: 181455, member: 5760"] I have a .223 wssm that I use with 90gr SMKs and have killed 7 deer with this year and all were past throughs except one. All were pretty much dead right there. 2 deer were at 300 yards and the bullet penetrated both shoulders and left a 1-1/2" exit on both deer. I also load my other .223 wssm with a 53 Barnes TSX and have shot several deer between 300 and 400 yards with past throughs. On average the 90 SMK seems to always leave a bigger exit hole and a lot more blood to trail if needed. I have been very impressed with its ablity and performace at long ranges. [/QUOTE]
