[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 1763330, member: 1039"] Because they worked 100% of the time, for years, and that's what was loaded. The deer doesn't look at you, throw its little hoofs up, and proclaim that it's not going to die because you used the wrong bullet. Two of the three deer looking at me right now were shot with SMK's. They are dead. They didn't go far. I didn't have to try to find them. Being somewhat sentient I listened to a friend of mines advice. He hated the SMK's for all of the reasons listed on this thread (penciling and little to no blood trail was his big complaint and I thought it was a legit complaint even though I never needed a trail) At his suggestion, I tried the Barnes TSX. I liked the results on one deer and didn't see a difference on another. I hunt with the TSX now. If I have one bullet and it's time to eat I'm not going to put the gun away because the one bullet is an SMK. Even the lowly .22 LR will kill a deer. I don't understand the hyper drama over a bullet label... [/QUOTE]
