[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 102408, member: 313"] I have killed exactly [b]ONE[/b] biggame animal with the SMK bullet, so my personal results are (statstically) meaningless. However, based on what I have read on many boards where shooters regularely hunt biggame with the SMK, I have come to some conclusions. The heavy SMK's, particularely in the 30cal + 33cal are very effective at taking large game at extended ranges when the shot placement is good. Using an accurate bullet like the SMK certainly helps with proper shot placement over the long haul. In the smaller calibers, the SMK seems to frequently hold up better than other "match" bullets due to its thicker jacket. However, reports on terminal performance of the smaller SMK's seem to vary enough to question their application for hunting biggame. Using "hunting" bullets in these calibers may give shooters a little more comfort. Now that the industry is producing "hunting bullets" with higher B/C's and improved quality control for better accuracy, I think that many shooters will not be as likely to look at match bullets for longrange hunting. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
