Just put a 1-7.5 twist barrel on my 6.5 creedmoor to try the 150 smk with no luck at all i shoot the 147gr well .4 moa but can not get any grouping with the 150's any one else having any luck or no luck with these. The interesting part is i can get decent numbers on the chrono SD 4 ES 10 2681avg fps, with 41gr H4350 lapua brass, cci 450 primer loaded at .020 off lands but groups are not pretty.
 
I keep hearing that Hornady rounds like a bit more jump. From my own tests, it hasn't hurt them, even way out at 0.070" or greater.

Are they shooting/feeling any different than your 147 load? Recoil impulse, etc feel odd?
