[QUOTE="captacademy, post: 602332, member: 7159"] Years ago I was hunting Aoudad using a 300 Win mag. I came upon a goat at about 315 yards who was standing on a mountain top looking over a valley. I was shooting a 190 SMK in my rifle because it shot very well. I set up on the Aoudad and fired, it looked like a complete miss, so I fired again. This time the Aoudad moved a bit, but still did not drop, it looked as if I had missed all three times. I quickly grabbed some 180 Nosler BT's I had on my belt and put them in my rifle and fired, the Aoudad went down. Upon examination, the Aoudad had 3 pencil holes right behind his left leg no bigger around than a softball size group in and out. The Nosler BT left a hole about the size of my fist, lots of damage. Needless to say, I never used 190 SMK's again in my 300. However, I have had great luck with them in my 338 RUM and 338 Lapua, but I am using 250 and 300 gains in the former and latter. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
