[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 333073, member: 11717"] JWP, You are adding 2 plus 2 and coming up with 5. I have nothing against the SMK. My angle is, don't use a bullet, any bullet, beyond it's performance limits. You know... you have me greatly confused. In another thread where the OP asks about killing energy, you argued with another member about the value or lack of value using energy as measurement of killing potential, which I actually agree with to some extent. However, your argument contridicts your philosophy fo "placement trumps all" you compared a 22-250 to a 475 handgun wich had a little less enrgy than the 22-250. IMHO, shot placement would be much more accurate with the 22-250 than the 475 especially at a good safe distnce from a brownie. What gives??? Is it becasue the 475 bullet performance is more to be desired than the 22-250??? On the GS bullets... a member here has tested some of the HV's and found the drops out to about 1K to be consistant with the advertised BC's.. if you take a look at the diagram of the 267 SP, you will see that it has a very long ogive. It will definitely out run the 300 SMK by a long shot. Not saying the SMK is a bad bullet. It has a lot of killing potential. But for pure pencil holing shot placement, the higher BC nonexpanding SP's would be a better choice. I can post pictures of the game I've taken. So what? All kinds of bullets have taken all kinds of game and the debate goes on... Like I said, if you want to pencil hole game, have at it... but I would recommend a better bullet for that. [/QUOTE]
