[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 692191, member: 24624"] FGMM will often hold 1/2 MOA at 500 yds. People get very polarized/opinionated about SMKs for hunting. But, many have had success depending on the quarry. I think you'd be fine if hunting white tails and not hitting heavy bones. I've shot deer with the 142 SMKs just fine. The AMAX is considered by many to be an excelent long range hunting bullet. If your Hornady ammo will hold consistent 1/2 MOA at 500 yds, then that would also be an option. Black Hills or HSM would be good if accurate at 500 yds in your rifle. -- richard [/QUOTE]
