[QUOTE="jasonprox700, post: 436770, member: 7328"] I have killed at least 20 whitetails with the 140grain SGK out of my .280. Out of those deer, I only had one pass through. I think they are better suited for longer range hunting. Anything under 200 yards and you are asking for an explosion. At close range, they explode on impact, but the longer the shot, the better they penetrate. Last year was the final year of using SGK for deer. I shot a running doe at about 75 yards. 4 shots behind the front shoulder, and not a single bullet made it into the rib cage. It slowed her down long enough for a texas heart shot (didn't want to, but I knew she was already hit and I needed to get her down). By then, she made it out a ways, and again the bullet slowed down enough enough for adequate penetration. I switched to Accubonds. I've shot a few deer with 100% pass throughs. I even was able to shoot a small buck at a mere 30 yards with it. He was quartering towards me and I put the bullet into the near shoulder and it exited with about a 1" hole. Inside was mush, so the bullet did it's job. I picked up a boat load of 140 GMX bullets for cheap, so maybe I'll give them a try also...Not enough deer in the area to do testing though (between the wolves and the DNR)! [/QUOTE]
