[QUOTE="snake, post: 458950, member: 25557"] Guys,this is a topic i've been trying to research form some time. I think I might purchase some solids to do a test in similar or equal conditions. I've tried to find hunting data from solids but I actually have a hard time finding any. Data meaning results on game that is. Pictures of damage to flesh,bone,etc. It is hard to do a 300gr smk vs. say 245gr GS custom solid due to weight differences and velocity. I don't have the twist for a 300gr solid in my 338 edge for distance but maybe 100-200 yards possibly. Having the rifle custom taylored for a 300smk is fine. I have no issues and am gald its that way. Im just like alot of others around here who want to explore and hope to improve on what they are already doing. BTW,I think the only close weighted solid projectile might be a 295gr GS custom bullet to compare to the 300gr smk. Its well over 2" I believe and would need something like a 1.8 twist for long range accuracy. I do not have that tight of a twist for that! Truely is a topic to play with but so many variables!
