[QUOTE="Mausermeister, post: 5465484, member: 7725"] While the open tip makes it technically legal to hunt with in TN, I wouldn't recommend using them regularly. My one experience with 77gr SMK broadside shot on deer at approximately150 yards. Bullet hit rib on entrance and shattered into four pieces, shredded heart and lower lungs, fragments found against rib cage on opposite side. Weight of recovered fragments 67gr. If it had not struck the rib, I believe it would probably have punched through intact without expanding. [/QUOTE]
