[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 226290, member: 1403"] I would say its a safe bet that more game have been killed with the 300g SMK then the Wildcat bullets. Maybe not the Bergers because of the wide selection of bullets and people using them because not everyone has a big 338, and surely not the AB's because they actually are designed as a "hunting" bullet. How can you say that about the 300g SMK being trustworthy when there seems to be a pile of animals being killed with them?? Sure you have a few guys saying they lost an animal here and there with the 300g SMK, but its going to happen time to time, reguardless of bullet used, especially when theres more people using them... A few kills with the Wildcats at LR is a good indication they work well, but no where near the track record of the 300g SMK, IMO. Shawn and his customers have killed a slew of game with the 300g SMK with no problems, not to mention all the other guys\out there using them. Bergers have been on the unpredictable side for me in the calibers I tried them in so far, and thats been the 115g VLD in 25-06, 168g and 180g in a 7 RM, and 210g in a 300 RUM. The 115, 168, and 210 acted more like varmint bullets then big game bullets, and the 180g acted like a solid or FMJ from what little tests I've done, and I actually killed a couple deer with the 7mm VLD's a couple years back. I wont use either of them again on deer based on my actual experience with them on deer. The 168g blew up on shoulders at 600+ yards, and the 180g VLD penciled through at 100 yards behind the shoulder. Same thing with milk jugs, the 168 vaporized them while the 180 penciled through. Your right about the search being continued to find "the" perfect bullet...Still searching... [/QUOTE]
