    All,

    I have the opportunity to pick up several 500 round bulk pack 77 SMK with Cannelure for 50% off or $67 each.

    I will be running these in a Tikka bolt gun. How much of an effect does the cannelure have on the over all accuracy?

    I currently have a load thats printing sub half MOA groups (Several .3 as well) with the NON-Cannelure version of this bullet.

    I would appreciate your advise.
     
    I also picked up 2000 175 SMK's, considering some of the .264 140 SMK but they are moly coated.

    I really want to get the 2000 77 SMK but I'm unsure about that cannelure.
