[QUOTE="captjordan, post: 95071, member: 776"] I have killed about 100 deer with my 3006 and 300RUM using 168gr SMK's in the 3006, and 220gr SMK in the 300RUM. I haven't lost a deer yet!!!!!! This has been anywhere from 10yds to 700yds. I use the 300RUM for elk, and have taken 7 elk now, anywhere from 350yds to my longest shot last year at 780yds. I've never lost an elk yet!!!!!!!! In my opinion, the 168's SMK's do blow up quick at short distance, but cause major tissue damage to a depth of about a foot....and the 220's do the same thing for about a foot and a half. But, at 500+yds, the 168's only penetrated the deer on a broadside shot about 9-10 inches. The 220's in the same scenario penetrate about 15 inches, and both are devastating from point of entry through the entire penetration. hope that helps [/QUOTE]
