[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 443247, member: 2693"] no. Well based on my reply above, I would not consider the SMK anyway. I've used these and have had friends use these on little Alabama whitetails with mixed results. Mostly, these bullets redefine "penciling" through for us, far worse than any Barnes bullet. So, even though I know many disagree with my view, I'd suggest you use a different bullet in the 30.06. That said, if this is not a consideration for you, then I would most definitely aim for shoulder and the thickest part of it at that. At least in that case, the impact should shatter enough bone to reach the spine region and hopefully shock the animal well enough to kill it or put it down for good so you can put a finishing shot in it.
