smk

Anybody shooting 175 SMK out of their 7 WSM? What powder and how much? Do you like it better then a 180 Berger?

So I ended up with two boxes of these (200) and am not sure how to go about loading them for my 308. I have a Remington 5R. Any or you guys ever loaded 190's for a 308 befor? I have a keg of IMR 4064 and am hoping you guys have a load that will work with these. Pics would be good. Thanks

I've finished prepping my first small batch of 1x Win Brass for my Rem 700 SPS Varmit and am eager to get some loads together. This is my first shot at precision shooting with my meager budget and the only powder I have that might work well for this application (according to the Lyman reloading...

Starting to work on some loads for a 7mm Win Mag using 175gr SMK and was looking for a good place to start on how far off the lands to load. The rifle: Robar SR90 24" 1-9" twist McM A3 Looked in the reloading depot and could not find many loads for 175 smk that gave distance off lands. Thanks...

Was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to post starting to max loads for 22-250 with 69gr SMK, with H380, Varget, and IMR4350, also COAL. If there is an "accuracy load" powder and charge weight please. I am a demanding bastard I know, but this would be appreciated. Jester

Have any of you tried the 135 Sierra MK's in your 308s? I'm shooting a Rem. 700 pss I've shot 110's thru it, with good results. I was wondering if any of you had tried them and if so what loads, results, etc. Thanks, Kevin.

What is the difference between the 168gr SMK and the 175gr SMK? The weights are so close that it can't just be a 7gr difference in weight. Is there some other difference? Here the 175gr SMK seems to be favored over the 168gr. What are the advantages? Another question on the same subject. I...

Does anybody have a 'known good' G7 BC for the 175gr .308 SMK? I get anywhere from .239 to .253 depending on which combination of software/data I use. The closest "good" data I could find is a .240 G7 BC cited here on the Hide by Mr. Litz for the .308 178gr AMAX (published .495 G1 BC) -- so...

Just a general question here, what's the most windage you have ever had to apply at 1000 yds with a SMK 175? While I was at Sniper School, I remember using 4.5 mils right on the UKD range (wind was absolutely horrible) at, IIRC, roughly 950 yds. I ask this because I'm considering buying a USO...

Hello, 1st post, new to the site and forums. I am going to start playing with Sierra's 210gr BTHP and I wanted to know what would be a good seating depth to start working from. Should I be on the lands with this bullet, or just off of them? The rifle is a browning a-bolt medallion in .300 win...

Hello everyone: I just purchased 3 boxes of the Fiocchi 180 grain SMK load for my 16 inch 1 in 10 twist LAR-8. Unfotunately I can't get to the range for a while Does anyone have experience with this load? How accurate is this load out to 100 and 200 yards? I hear that a 1 in 10 twist tends...

Sierra does not advocate using their Matchking bullets for hunting. I've harvested several whitetail deer using the 168 gr SMK over 42.8 grains of R-15. Anyone else use SMK's for hunting? This 6pt was taken last November in TN using a 168 gr SMK.

Hello, I'm going to order a box of 500 77 grain .224 SMK's for a RRA varmint I have on order. I have everything else so I figured I'd buy a box of bullets while they're available. I see the non cannelure and the ones with cannelure. Which ones are recommended. I will be loading these to mag...

Just a feller. Has anyone used the new 95 grain SMK's in their .243. If so, what loads have you tried, and what kinda accuracy and velocity are you getting. Would you recommend them for ranges out to 800 yards ? Mike

Hey guys I am looking for a round for the AR with a little more punch. I have a 1 in 7 twist 16" barrel. What do you guys think of SMK 69gr HPBT? Good, bad, indifferent?

Greetings, All. I've had this buzzing around in my head for the past couple of days... Any of you have an opinion regarding the Cor-Bon .308 190gr. SMK ammo, especially versus a benchmark 175SMK like Federal or Black Hills? Does the better BC of the 190 offset its greater weight at longer...

I know this has been discussed 100's of times but I am looking to find out how a 190 smk does in a 308 to 1000yds. Also what load would you use. I normally load varget for my 308. My 175 smk load is 46.5 with br2's.

Need a starting range for a new 6.5x47 using Varget and 123 SMK's. Have not found many suggestions on the net.

I just built up another AR but instead of the typical 16" or even 20" barrel... I put on a 24" Fluted Bull Barrel. I took it out this last weekend and ran some cheap 55gr FMJ at 50yds doing a barrel break-in. It placed 5rds in the same hole so I'm a little excited to load some heavy match-grade...

two different programs. one its listed as .533 another .524 this is loaded HSM ammo btw.
