[QUOTE="Mike375, post: 30071, member: 227"] I have just placed order via the Australian Wby agent for a pair of upgraded 338/378 Accumarks. Should arrive in about 6 months and I want to assemble some components dies etc before they get here. I won't be shooting any deer but rather kangaroos, goats and pigs but I figure what works on deer will be OK on these animals. My main concern about using 300 grain MK would be lack of expansion. I am not worried about how the bullet would perform out 600 yards as from my experience animals at real long range go down easy. But how would you expect the 300 MKs to go at close ranges, say out to 250 yards or so. As a by the way a mate of mine just shot several roos with the 107 MK in a 264. He said these appeared to be going straight through. I suspect on the small 264 size the hollow point might to be small and is closing. We use to get this years ago when the 110 grain Hornady 270 needle nose hollow point was introduced. Thanks in advance. Mike [/QUOTE]
