[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 674637, member: 30902"] I'm not a fan at all of the SMK as a hunting bullet in general. However at the velocities you are running it should suffice as long as you do NOT try to shoot through the shoulders. On the Ram go for a Heart/Lung shot, on the hog 2-3" below the ear and about 3-5" back towards the shoulder (do not shoot through the shoulder with that bullet, it'll end ugly) on a large boar should put you dead into the spine. I'd encourage you though to try some [URL="http://www.hornady.com/store/308-Win-165-GR-InterBond-Superformance/"]Hornady 165gr Interbonds[/URL] or[URL="http://www.hornady.com/store/308-Win-165-gr-SST-Superformance/"] Hornady 165gr SST's[/URL] . They shoot phenomenally well in both of my M1A's; even buying the factory ammo at that. Both are ideal hunting bullets. [/QUOTE]
