[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1763462, member: 82117"] Sounds like the bullet worked about perfectly for the OP. I personally am not a huge fan of the SMK for hunting, but I do mostly hunt with match bullets. ELD-Ms kill like the plague. Bergers OTMs have done very well for me as well. Everyone here that criticises match bullets but hunts with Berger "hunting" bullets should know that it's just a target bullet with a minimally thinner jacket. That's it. I have never seen a tipped match bullet fail to expand. In fact the only bullet I've had personally pencil through a deer was a "hunting" bullet. A Hornady GMX. The writing on the box is marketing folks, and that's it. Look at the bullet construction for yourself and decide what to use based on that. I hunting with ATIPs this year and they have been exceptional killers. [/QUOTE]
