[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2725947, member: 94556"] I definitely agree wit the 6.5x284 but have significant reservations about using SMKs to hunt with. Had enough problems with 30 cal SGKs in Africa with over mushrooming , poor penetration and jacket/core separations at 100-200 yds to know that a bullet constructed to only hit steel or punch through paper was not engineered or tested to perform like a real hunting bullet. The SGK is supposedly a hunting bullet but yet, in my experience is not consistent at adequately penetrating animals. Even though they are a “hunting “ bullet they perform unreliably within 200 yds especially when pushed hard. Accuracy was not an issue. [/QUOTE]
