[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 336909, member: 505"] Rockymt, again thanks for posting your info. The 110 grain 264 was also on my list for my 264 Gibbs, 264 win mag and 264 STW. JWP745, I have seen quite a few long range hits with the 300 SMK out of my 338-378's, 338 Lapuas and 338-300 ultramags. When punching through the lungs you get many pass throughs where there is an exit hole with great blood loss even at half mile targets particularly with deer/caribou size animals and smaller. I have seen instances where the jacket began to seperate with no exit wounds on shoulder hits with large big game such as elk at all ranges. 99% of my hunting is inside a half mile although I have been known to stretch it out there on occasion when necessary. Typically I am not out there trying to see how far I can kill one but get within my comfort range when at all possible. Mtbullet, I have seen the fun begin with the 7mm rem mag and 168 bergers way to many times. This year two experiences with them from my friends.
