[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 114846, member: 8843"] I shoot alot of deer with the 175gr SMK out of a 308 at ranges out to 618yds (longest) and they have always work great even on our smaller deer down here. I typicaly use a meplat uniformer on all my round and I think this may add some assastance in the bullet opening up. I have also goten great results from the Hornady 178gr A-max with a noticable differance in expansion ,the A-max has a thiner jacket theirfor it expands faster. I believe that the A-max would be the better bullet if the ranges are going to be long 600yds+ But like it was mentioned before I would be cautious of the 190gr SMK at the lower 308 velocities unless you open the tip up a little bit to give it a head start at expansion [/QUOTE]
