[QUOTE="chickm1, post: 1764022, member: 49525"] Here's the deal. a cast lead bullet will kill an animal, but, there are better choices out there. Many people think the "hollow point" will do the job, but the fact is, the hollow point in a SMK is part of the manufacturing process, not a hollow point meant to expand. And, remember all military ammo is FMJ, and many, many dead soldiers didn't know the difference. I think if you hit a deer with a marble going 2600 fps, it will probably kill him. But, is it a clean humane kill? There are reasons that there are bullets with different designs and features. SMK are not designed for maximum performance on game. Will they kill if they hit an animal? of course they will. Will they consistently perform as well as a bullet designed for hunting large animals? The manufacturer is the expert, and they say they will not. I believe them. I know a man that shot a deer 4 times with a SMK. Do whatever you think is ethical. [/QUOTE]
