I shoot a Savage 10FP LE2b and have shot the 190 SMKs with very accurate results. They are a heavy bullet, but the Savage's 1:10" twist can handle that weight, but there is a bit more of a thump in recoil with that heavier bullet.
I can't say that my 26" barrel has gotten them up some of the velocities quoted here, but I mostly shoot 100 yds, so I'm not looking at that last Nth degree in speed, either.
I've also found great accuracy shooting the 185gr Lapua Scenars and IIRC, I'm at about 2550 with them, which puts me a little 'less flat' out to 1k than some of the lighter bullets, like the 155 Scenars and/or the 175s.
