[QUOTE="Garrum, post: 22810, member: 670"] Tim, I may switch brands of brass eventually, if I keep having trouble. I'll probably go to Lapua if I do. I hear that it's just as precise as Norma and maybe a little tougher. I was wondering, how do SMK's (168gr .284dia.) act on game between 50 and 400 yards when pushed at around 3000 fps or a little more? Would they just fragment uselessly, or would they act more like a FMJ? The reason for needing them to work at very close ranges is that this is my only rifle, and I have to use it for hunting in the woods as well. How about Hornady A-Max's? Or do I need to just stick with 'Hunting' bullets at the ranges I'll be shooting? [/QUOTE]
