[QUOTE="Broz, post: 590424, member: 7503"] Mike, I don't disagree about the size of the exit holes, especially on goats. I just wanted you to see the size of the biggest part that is exiting. We better watch what is standing behind the elk or we might need an extra tag..:D If memory serves me correctly this bullet had a retained weight of 185 gr. That leaves a 115 gr's of fragnents so no argument there about the fragments. This could be viewed as the best of both worlds you know. Kinda like shooting a bull with a 25-06 loaded with a fragmenting bullet and at the same time hitting it with a 180 from a 300 cal that passes through. Maybe this is why they work well for me and others. Anyway, I know you are a hunter and thought you would like to see some of my findings with the 300 smk. I have said before I have no issues at all with this bullet. But the Berger 300's are more accurate at long distances in my rifle and buck the wind well too. Jeff [/QUOTE]
