[QUOTE="Lapua Hunter, post: 188293, member: 7052"] [b].338 300 gr SMK on Game[/b] I have taken 3 critters with my .338 lapua in the last year.. Mule deer at 168 yards elk at 460 yards and oryx at 704 yards all with 300 gr. smk. They shoot will in my AR 30, and after all, placement is most of the battle. I will say they seemed to punch a small hole (maybe 1" exit?) and blow m ost of the energy on the terrain behind the animal. But a 1" hole through the lungs etc seems to be enough to let the air out. None have dropped on their feet, as I expect they would if the bullet expended all its energy into the critter. Then again, they have not gone far either. If expanding the hollow point would make them open up better, I think the results would be devastating. Mark the spot, and take a plastic bag to collect the hamburger! [/QUOTE]
