Why do you use SMK bullets for big game?

[QUOTE="lerch, post: 90396, member: 3115"] What amazes me is that last year I would have been on the "SMK's are no good for game" side of this debate. Now after seeing what those 240gr 30cal did to BJ's buck I definantly think there is a place for them in big game hunting. I would still rather use a bullet that is designed for hunting but when a SMK is all that is offered with the high BC's we all want you just have to shoot what you have to shoot. This is where WildCat bullets fill the gap [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I dont think the SMK is great for people trying to kill varmints at long range. I would think that a 140 6.5 bullet or a 110gr 6mm would simply zip right through a pdog or chuck at 1000yds. But then again I have never tried them at those ranges so I am just guessing. I think Uncle B and GoodGrouper used SMK's for their 1500yd kills, maybe they will tell us if there was any expansion. I think as long as you have some decent velocity behind these bullets you will be great on big game, the pics prove it. [/QUOTE]
