[QUOTE="JohnnieB, post: 2747422, member: 41502"] The SMK's are not a hunting bullet, so I stop there, with the exception of the 300 gr .338 SMK. A truly devastating hunting bullet. I hunt with Barnes pretty much exclusively and have never had a problem with them. In fact quite the opposite and have shot numerous deer with both the 165 and 180 TTSX's. No deer went very far. I have also worked up a load for a friends .308, used the 130 TTSX at around 2900/2950 if memory serves right. He hunts our coastal blacktails, little deer about 110-120 lbs. They have performed perfectly for him. Some folks talk about the lack of expansion at lower velocities, which may be true, but we limit all our hunting shot to 500 yds. Expansion has never been a problem. [/QUOTE]
