Shot these with my .308 this weekend with 175gr MKs loaded to about 2670fps. Black one was taken at about 80 yards. Shot was just behind right shoulder. Exit was small, about the size of a quarter. Found first blood drops about 80 yards from where I shot him, and blood trailed him about 40 yards more to where he lay.

Shot the red one at about 100 yards, low through right shoulder. No exit. He made it about 40 - 50 yards. No blood trail.

Don't know what they weighed, but you might get an idea of the size by comparing to my rifle.

The MKs work, but not nearly as convincingly as the Berger VLDs have for me...

Re: 175gr MKs vs. Wild Hogs

I've had great success with 168SMK's on hogs, even on hogs much bigger than that. The last being roughly 175lbs at about 120 yards, Folded up like a lawn chair with out so much as a twitch.


Good shooting
