    Here is another one i thought worth asking on here.
    How does the 69gr SMK go on deer at 223 velocities? I have a little stash of them for on of my 22-250's and they work great at that velocity but have only shot animals up close with it so far.
    Do they expand at 223 velocities out to say 300m? i read places that they pencil through deer whithout opening but i am a little bit doubtful of that.
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    I had heard that they don't expand too. But I lung shot a Fallow at about 150 yards odd while wallaby hunting with fairly anaemic Fiocchi factory 69 grn SMK and it worked just fine. It ran about 20 yards and tipped over. The bullet was nicely mushroomed in the off side ribs. Its the only time Ive used them though. They killed wallaby just fine too.
