[QUOTE="Garrum, post: 22815, member: 670"] My bad, Darryl. I didn't read Tim's post clearly. As I read it the first time, I assumed that he meant that under 300yds, SMK's blew up, but on reading it again, I see he said "...they tend to make extremely large holes...". That's definately not the same as "blow up". Also, I didn't know that SMK's had thick jackets. I always assumed that they would have super thin jackets, to lessen the chance of one side being heavier than the other. SMK's are sounding better and better. What I may do, after finding out if they shoot well in my rifle, is rustle up a bunch of old newspaper and perform my own penetration test. That would belay any fears of potential blow up that I might have. If they can handle a fifty yard shot fairly well, then I'll be set. [/QUOTE]
