[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 177835, member: 6555"] I love the SMK's! mostly for LR tactical shooting steel or paper but 2 and 3 years ago I took a couple of does with them nothing crazy in distance one was almost 400 yards can't remember what Doug said but it was a nasty sight went in about 3 ribs back and the front shoulder well it didn't go into the meat pan! she was DRT, the other 2 one was 75 yards throught the neck DRT not a great hole but about the size of a golfball, the other was maybe 100 yards and the same through the neck with same results. I normally load Nosler BT's for deer but let's just say I was curious! I have shot many thousand prairie dogs with the 52gr SMK from 223 and 22-250 and I would say that 3 of 10 would go skipping across the prairie which I don't like so I have given them up. Of the deer I have shot I never recovered a bullet to see if in fact it did mushroom or not but the effect was about the same as the Nosler BT's I do use. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
