[QUOTE="Ankeny, post: 86988, member: 4821"] The ballistics gurus at Sierra told me the SMK is not recommended for hunting simply because they have not tested the bullet in ballistic media. The SMK features both a softer core and a thinner jacket than their hunting bullets and it is not designed for controlled expansion. Does that mean it won't work for swatting down a truck load of mule deer? Obviously not. I wonder how something like a 190 SMK in .30 caliber at 3300 feet from 50 yards would work on Brown bear with a bust 'em down point of the shoulder shot? Anyone know? [/QUOTE]
