Re: 200gr SMK
What's your twist rate on the barrel? If it's a 1:12", it will not stabilize the 200 SMK at subsonic velocities.

I'm using them in a 1:10 twist with 9.7gr of Trail Boss.

Re: 200gr SMK
For the common 1:12" twist, the heaviest bullet I'd go is a 180 grain SP with a flat base bullet. The 30-30 bullets work well, also.

Re: 200gr SMK
A 1:12 will run a 190 SMK very well. Push to about 2625 fps. Would not go higher than that.

We're talking subsonics. Otherwise, the 1:12 will run the 190's at normal speeds fine.
