[QUOTE="rufous, post: 1461, member: 122"] Dave, I wanted to remind you that I am interested in trying the SMK in my 300 Win Mag but am concerned about its performance at close range quartering shots. I have an accurate load worked up for my rifle with the 220 SMK at 2830 fps. I wonder if I took a shot at a big black bear or elk at 25 yards through the shoulder or a full paunch would the bullet penetrate clear through the vitals and hopefully even exit (I really favor complete penetration)? You said you would report on your close range shots. Please keep us informed. Thanks, Rufous. [/QUOTE]
