[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 601225, member: 1007"] The best of hunting bullets can fail to open or expand on game for one reason or another. Those that are designed to open and expand on game do so with much more reliablity and predictability than bullets that were not designed for expansion. Was the SMK designed for expansion? NO. Do they? At times. They can work and they can make your life misserable. They are unreliable and unpredictable when it comes to expansion on game. To me, it is a gamble. I cant say I have lost any game to the SMK but I certainly have had some messy kills. Also, if there was brush involved, I am sure some would have been losses. Fortunately, all teh game I have taken with the SMK has been in very open country. I owe it to the game I hunt to kill it as cleanly as possible as often as possible. There are no assurances, but I want as many factors in my favor as possible for clean kills. The SMK is rarely a factor in my favor for clean kills, so I dont use them anymore. No bullet is 100% perfect all the time but I will always take the highest odds. M [/QUOTE]
