[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 33136, member: 1940"] I would think it would be okay at the ranges you described, but in my experience it will blow apart at short range if you are pushing them fast. My .300 Jarrett really likes them. Like you I get around .5 moa with them, and a solid 1 moa with hunting bullets. I had to put down one of my horses several years ago, and had my .300 on hand with 200 gr. SMK's pushing 3000 fps. I made a heart shot from 10 ft. The bullet certainly didn't exit, and when the horse fell over he lay there blinking. I quickly hit him again, but under the circumstances the bullet performance was a bit distressing. [/QUOTE]
