[QUOTE="cdmorten, post: 61159, member: 1674"] Here is my rule of thumb. If the animal is within 250 yards, I use the Nosler 165 in my 308. If it's beyond that, I use the SMKs. I think the Nosler's expand a bit better at high velocities (short ranges), but they track about 1 moa to the right and 2 moa down from a 168 SMK so I'm not confident with them beyond about 250-300 yds. My solution is to chamber a Nosler and then have SMK's underneath it. If it's a short shot I use the round in the chamber. If it's long, I pop that round out of the chamber and cycle an SMK in there. SMK's definitely work though. I personally think that their ballistics get better as they scrub some velocity. [/QUOTE]
