Thread: Subsonic 308

Nice kimjon, can i suggest you try one of your previous pills, the ones with just the cuts in the jacket, not the enlarged hollow point, in the same bucket of water test. Since you no how they perform on game you should be able to make a pretty good comparision to your new model!

Dia5mm x 20mm deep, then used the primer flash-hole deburring tool to further open up the nose a little more.

Normally I would, but I'm out of buckets haha...

I'm pretty sure my first modified SMK's (V1.1 flutes only, no hollow point) didn't open up at all judging by the pin holes it was leaving in the goats on the exit side. I know a few people who have tested the standard 240smk ''in the bucket'' a few years ago and it hardly deformed them at all...some even looked like you could use them again except for the rifling marks left behind

As Spanners clicked onto earlier, the jacket material on the SMK is very thick and the hollow point itself is superficial i.e. only in the tip of the jacket and nothing at all in the lead behind. However by drilling the 20mm deep hole into them its seams to have fixed that issue.
