[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 5183, member: 13"] [b]30 Cal. SMK\'s for Elk?[/b] I read in some older posts where a number of you have used 168 & 175 SMK's with good success for deer & elk. My question is what velocity range do you believe that these bullets will perform well? I'm one of those odd ducks that uses a Remington XP-100 center-grip in 7.82 Patriot for elk hunting. Chronoed 150 grain loads are @ 3,000 fps from the muzzle. I have just shot some 180 grain Game Kings that were just under 1/2 inch (4-shot group @ 100 yards). Haven't shot this load @ 200 yards or chronoed it yet. Given this information what would you suggest? Thanks Ernie Bishop [/QUOTE]
