[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 333236, member: 3776"] No I have not missed the point. Darrel Cassel a pioneer in Long Range hunting has used the SMK's with a high degree of predictability for decades even taken a bull Elk at 2,000 yards with one shot. Shawn Carlock Just took a nice bull Elk this year with a SMK. rimfire, godgrooper, Chris Matthews, Kirby Allen as well as myself have used the SMK's with a very high dergree of success. Also Dave King one of the original 3 that started this web site has taken several hundred Deer with SMK's The following quote is from Dan Lilja and the rest of the article can be read here; [url=http://www.riflebarrels.com/articles/longrange_shooting/shooting_hunting.htm]Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: Long Range Shooting and Hunting: Page 1[/url] "Bullets should be selected on the following grounds.
