[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 953857, member: 76832"] As for your scope, it will work just fine. Eventually, you will probably get to the point where you feel he need to upgrade it on your own though. The Sendero's are awesome rifles. You won have a problem there. Now your loads: SMK's have a thicker copper jacket than the game king bullets. How thick? You might ask. I took a smk and a gk bullet to a grinding wheel and cut them in half. I can't tell the difference between the jackets. And keep in mind that both Barnes and Hornady make a solid copper bullet for hunting. You do have a hollow point at the front of the smk that isn't real big but it is enough to start expansion. Popular powders are hodgdon and alliant. R22 is highly recommended as well as Retumbo. Those would be my first two choices. You probably won't find either for sale right now though. Imr4350, H4350, imr 7828, H1000, H338 are all used with good results as well. [/QUOTE]
