[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1633732, member: 87243"] I have heard (but never tested myself) that some of the Sierra bullets that are pointed can have the hollow point somewhat closed off, leading to little or no bullet expansion (but sometimes tumbling after impact due to the tip "bananaing" over). I suppose if you opened tips with a wire drill, that should ensure proper expansion with very little loss in bc, I would feel confident trying the SMK in that case. Otherwise, one of the other bullets mentioned is what I would try, starting with the 230 Berger. Will be interesting to see how the A-Tips perform as well. [/QUOTE]
