[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 219252, member: 4491"] i'll say it before Roy does...still didn't hit the dime! i've shot the 250's a little and they shoot at least as good as the Sierra's did in my gun. had a couple 1" groups at 300 with a muzzle velocity of just under 3100. didn't really have time to fine tune them. gonna do some terminal testing with them real soon. gotta get my milk jug collection up to 20 or so. i talked to an engineer at Hornady a while back and he said they never did any terminal testing with the 250 as it was made for paper only. he also said he would be very interested in any testing or game taken with them. i like the bigger hollow point, my belief is that's one of the main ingredients in getting them to open up on smaller game. by smaller game i'm talking about regular sized whitetails. everyone is in love with the 300gr SMK but it doesn't always open up on deer. most that have used both prefer the 250 over the 300 for deer. this would be out to 1k or so. not talking elk here, the 300 is possibly the best bullet there is for elk.
