[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 165109, member: 4491"] i'm not smart enough to load the bullets so they can be shot at much slower speeds so just last weekend i shot some 250SMK's into milk jugs with wet magazines at 500 and 1k. muzzle velocity would be around 3125. i lined up 5 jugs and put thick magazines in front and between each jug. put the phone book after the third jug. first was at 1k and the jacket and core completely separated, with the bulk of the lead and 2 other pieces making it into the 5th jug.couldn't find the jacket but the biggest piece of lead has a nice circle on it that i know is the bottom of the boat tail.at 500 couldn't really find any part of the bullet as it just blew the 4th and 5th milk jugs apart so bad i couldn't accurately put them back together. my best guess was about a golf ball size hole with fragmentation on the near side of the 4th jug. the phone book, which again was after the 3rd jug, had about a 1-1.25 hole in it. have heard from several that the 250's work better on game out to1k so i've been planning on using them this year. still waiting on Walt's version of the 338 for next years elk hunt. GG,i thought the 250's you tested last year were the Lapuas, not the SMK's? [/QUOTE]
