[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 224413, member: 4885"] +1 Varminator. You can't group all the SMK's together. The 338 300gr SMK is a completely different animal than the smaller/lighter SMK's when shot at high velocity from the big 338's. Even if it performed poorly and shed 50% of it's weight, 150gr's are still traveling through the animal (after 50% of the KE has been dumped). I've only seen 2 elk hit with 300SMK's and neither one lived more than a few seconds. Each shot was a little longer than 500yds, which equates to about 5300 ft lbs at the animal from the 338 Allen Mag. Although it's only a sample size of 2, 2 out of 2 ain't bad. AJ [/QUOTE]
