I have had somewhat inconsistent terminal effects with the 250 smk (never with the 300 smk)
GG, it's interesting, i remember you testing the 250 gr bullets a couple years ago and reading your results. i realize the 250SMK has a bit sturdier construction than the 300. but, in all the posts i've read on here and in talking with several people that have a lot more experience with this stuff than anyone on here, i've never heard of a 250gr SMK failing on game. the 300 on the other hand, has a few skeletons in it's closet. the failures i'm talking about are on whitetailed deer. the bullet flies right through and the deer just stands there as if nothing happened, and then just walks off. mind you i'm not saying the 300 doesn't work. just every once in a while, it's too much for deer.
