[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 885609, member: 51650"] Chuck Plisskin Be careful using target specific bullets on big game. Most have jackets that are uniform (and very thin!) nose to tail so they are centrifugally symmetrical and balanced. Most hunting bullets are strongly tapered, thin at the nose and thick at the base. The target types also have a very small hollow point that is as likely to fold in or collapse instead of expand properly. Most bullet makers warn against target bullets being used for big game. Some target types work well as varmint ammo but only the Berger Hybrids are made for target/big game to my knowledge. Maybe somebody else has some relevant experience with SMK's used on big game in 375. After all, we are talking about 300grs of lead here. That much lead has to do something when it hits. [/QUOTE]
