Its been beat to death but yeah, If you poke to boiler room it will work. Shot placement is key to any shot on game.

Re: Hunting with serria matchkings anyone try it?????

I am sorry if this topic has been beat to death. I could not find this question. So once again I ask for your advise. I am not looking to wound an animal and that is why I asked the question. I have taken ALOT of big game but however not with this bullet. So any one with info please let me know
 
Re: Hunting with serria matchkings anyone try it?????

I can say that they have worked very well for me on deer sized game. Close up and far away, very deadly!
 
Re: Hunting with serria matchkings anyone try it?????

Sorry but it has been beat to death, but I'll tell you anyway. I took a doe antelope a few years back with a 200smk, worked perfectly. I took a spike bull elk two weeks ago with a 175smk from 560 yds away, and a nice 3x4 mulie last weekend with the same. I agree with whats been said, they will work just fine if put in the right spot.

i dont use them personally, but my cousin shoots the 175gr bthps out of his SuperSASS and his SR-25. Seen him take 'yotes, 'goats, mule deer, white tail and his 6x6 bull last year with out any problems. same as everyone else said. it may not be ideal, but IMO its all in shot placement

Just a few I was able to find. I use Berger's VLD myself, but as always shot placement is key.

This topic has been beat to death. There are folks that have strong beliefs on both sides. Personally I use 168 SMK's for deer and have had excellent results. This is last year's victim. He was at a dead run at 85 yards, 1 168 SMK over 44.6 grains of varget to the heart/lungs and he was DRT! They do work, that I know! The second pic is what a deer heart looks like after meeting a 168 SMK!

I wouldn't... I almost lost a nice 8 point last year... Dead center double lung shot at 80 yards... He only went 40 yards, but not one single drop of blood... Just a small hole in, and a small hole out. I was using the 168 gr.
