[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 293190, member: 1007"] AJ, I am guessing youre refering to the SMK's? My experiance with the Scenars (30 cal 155's and 338 300's) act just like FMJ's. My experiance with the SMK's is that they can and emphasis on CAN open under the right circumstances. The 338/300 grain has the best reputation of all the SMK's for killing performance. I am sure that among other things, its sheer size has something to do with it. Kevin is correct in that neither the SMK or the Scenar was designed to expand on game. SMK's when used at the right velocity for a given model have been known to expand. The 300 SMK specifecly sure seems like it has been pretty reliable. This is largely due in part to its super high BC and subsequent ability to keep its velocity longer. This high impact velocity is what helps it open up despite the fact that it wasnt designed to do so. I imagine if you dropped the impact velocity down to around 1400-1600 FPS things might be different. [/QUOTE]
