[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 560470, member: 22242"] Bruce, I shoot at 1000 as often as I can, but I dont have a range so I have to set it all up every time I want to shoot and it takes a while, but I try to a couple times a month at least. my best group at 1000 with 3 shots is about 3 inches, I didnt actually measure it because I would like to shoot a 5 shot on paper. I have considered trying another bullet but this one shoots so well its hard to abandon it. I only hit soft flesh so I am not too suprised it didnt open up much. I have to say the SMK does not have any qualities I look for in a hunting bullet. But it works because there is so much lead there its overkill in most cases so it works well. Not a lot of weight retention. I shot a muley buck at 675 2 weeks ago and the exits was the size of a nickle but there was a 50 grain chunk of copper left behind under the hide. and a month ago I shot a cow elk at 43 yards with it and its didnt blow up like I expected it exited the size of a quarter but also left a 50 grain chunk of copper in the hide. I have multiple 200-500 yard shots on deer and antelope and it blows huge holes... so the jury is still out on how I like it for hunting. so far everything has been hammered with one shot. my second choice bullet is the 265 LRX the goat measures 14.5 tall, not too big but decent for a type 2 tag [/QUOTE]
