[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 316509, member: 1007"] No argument taken. I cannot vouch for the 338 300 grain SMK as I have not used it on game yet. I am willing to try that due to the very WIDE success of that particular bullet. It may have to do with the very large frontal area and mass quantity of weight behind it that helps it open up. I dont know that as I am just theorizing outloud. The SMK's I do have experience with on game (mostly 168, 190 SMK's) have left me in want for a hunting bullet. It seems that at certain ranges (depending where you hit them) they will open and at other ranges they have not and in other circumstances they have gone absolutely ballistic so to speak. Personaly I just have not had any consistent results with them only unpredictable results. I know others here have had excellent results from scenario to scenario and I am not here to take that success away from them or try and steer them away from them. As for me and my expeiences with them I choose to use 'hunting' bullets and recomend to those who have not used them on game as of yet to stick with hunting bullets. Espescially on a very expensive hard once in a lifetime affair. Why risk even a little unpredicablility? Not trying to start any flame. [/QUOTE]
