[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1513783"] The SMK bullets are a hit and miss proposition, they sometimes function like a regular HP, shatter and fragment, blow up like a varmint bullet, pin hole and tumble, even break into several chunks and buzz saw against each other. I have used the 180 SMK (old style and new style) in the 7.62N for years, in my experience it works well, but..I am aware of it's shortcomings and will attempt to place the bullets where experience, tells me they will work, the downside will be a lot of bloodshot meat and bone and bullet fragmenting. As far as numbers I am well into the hundreds for deer size game (80 - 400 lbs), given that I have worked in quite a few culling operations over the years The Game kings are the better option if Sierra is your favoured brand, Hornady has a few options and there are other options including premiums.
