[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1260581, member: 4566"] Looks like it weighs at least 80gr or right at 50%. Long range bullets generally shed 50% when they work as designed. These aren't A-frames or Partitions. That is essentially perfect performance for a LR bullet. When that 50% is shed is when the real work is done. I don't think anyone would disagree that the 338 300gr SMK is a critter killing machine. I have recovered about 20 of them from DEER! They all weighed right around 150 grs. The deer were VERY VERY VERY DEAD. If you use a long enough bullet, with enough SD to penetrate, and the front half shears off blowing a huge hole in the critter and then the rear stops further on......well that's as good as it gets. Bullets are COMPROMISES. Too hard, too soft or just right for one shot will equal something totally different in another instance. Shoot the longest, heaviest and highest SD bullet you can and stuff will fall. [/QUOTE]
