[QUOTE="Broz, post: 898607, member: 7503"] All of the bullet criteria come back to two important ingredients. Distance and Impact velocity. The bullets that give that nice mushroom, or folded over petals look at 500 yards and under tend to not give as good of expansion at 800 plus. The ones that exit even at 300 yards can sail right through at 800 plus where they may not expand at all. The ones that are soft enough to expand at the slowed velocities of 800 plus will expand and fragment a lot at 300 < . More than some like to see. I live in elk country where a 500 yard shot is pretty close. I set my rifles up to preform best for the longest shots. But still kill at 100 if needed. This includes the high BC bullets that will have the least wind drift. Plus I need them to expand even past 1000 yards. We take elk at either side of 1000 every year. I have shot a lot of SGK and SMK's over the years. So will the 180 SGK kill elk, you bet. Is it a good long range bullet for elk. Not foe me. Again I will say. There is no perfect bullet for all applications. But know how your chosen bullet works and where it falls short. Then use it to the best of your advantages. Short answer to your question.
