[QUOTE="jmden, post: 550701, member: 1742"] That's barely long range and virtually no need for a precision match bullet at that distance--plenty of bullets will do the job at that distance. That bullet will do fine out of you 338 Lap 3x that far. Don't limit yourself. If I were you, I would look seriously at the new 300g Berger Hybrid instead of the SMK. On game performance appears very similar to the 300 SMK with a better BC and some think better overall shooting precision and consistency that Berger seems to be known for. Carlock has switched to it. I just killed a 4x4 Muley at 580yds and 15 deg angle two nights ago with the Berger--it was very dead--caliber size entrance and big exit wound. There's a 9/21 post here in the bear hunting section where Carlock's sister in law hit a bear at 776yd with it as well. Similar performance. [/QUOTE]
