While many here likely will chime in with differing experiences, the 175 SMK has produced more consistent results for me than any other bullet and worked fine on animals out to 450 yards with one shot DRT's. In examining lots of wounds from them through the years, they seem prone to tumble through producing some dramatic wound channels.
Saw the same load hit a 100# doe broadside and TRASH one lung (nearside). The 175 blew up, and must not have taken out the far side lung. It was a perfect high-shoulder shot, the same type that produce piledriver DRT stops with Bergers. A 175 SMK ain't a Berger. Found her, still alive, over an hour later, and finished her with a 9mm.
