[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1660642"] I would stay away from SMKs on large game. Used a .308 win 180 grain SMK on three separate occasions on deer. All three times penciled through. Found the deer several hundred yards away from my stand. They were all shot within 100 yards. I also shot a big bobcat at 75 yards with a 77 grain SMK .223. It blew up on its shoulder and didn’t penetrate. I had to track him about 100 or so yards through super thick ga brush. Four bad experiences was enough for me. I love target bullets but when I go hunting I swap over to the not so sexy Remington corelokts. They group decent enough in all my rifles for the type of ga box blind hunting I do. [/QUOTE]
