I bought 180gr SMK's because they were out of 175gr, and after doing a few searches I have found that a lot of you guys hate'em. I guess these wont be good to 1k? Several said max 800yd, so I dont know. Damn.

I just checked the 180Gr SMK with ballistc fte. If you can get it to 2600fps it should stay supersonic to about 1100 yds.

I would assume if your rifle likes them they'd be good to 1K, unless they're like the 168 SMK and loose stability in the transonic range.

Give em a shot. They may shoot great.

Just because someone else doesn't particularly like something, doesn't mean it isn't going to work in your rifle. There are a lot of things I'm not really fond of. But that doesn't mean they don't do their job. I guess I'm growing opinionated in my old age.
