Performance and Field Use

While match bullets like the 69gr SMK aren’t typically marketed for hunting, Wade at Ally Munitions has put this load through its paces on hogs and smaller game with solid results. The key is shot placement and maintaining the correct velocity—when those elements are there, terminal performance can be more than adequate.

Expect consistent results from AR-15s and bolt-action platforms with proper twist rates, and keep an eye out for our velocity testing data soon.
