I found that the heavier higher BC bullets granted they don't take off real fast hold thier velocity better and thus a little flatter trajectory so I went to the 168 SMK when I had the 1-14 308. It would shoot the 155's out there to 1K good, the 168 would start to get funcky holes in the paper at 800 and go South from there BUT would hit at 1K on steel. Shot that barrel out and went to a 1-10 twist stepped up to the 175SMK and have never looked back! this rifle just loves them and well when you find a good thing don't mess with it, best I have done with them was 2 1/2" group on the steel at OKC gunclub when I was a member at the 500 meter rams.I'm pretty simple when it comes to my stuff and the SMK's just shoot well so I don't change much they didn't however shoot well in the 284 so I went with the A-Max and well the rest is history. KISS is the way to go in LR you have enough other variables to worry about in the field.The A-Max and SMK have a heavy following with LR hunting and this is cause they work! Berger bullets work well also but some of us just can't dish out the change to shoot many of them (like me) if you check out one of the LR hunting sites most of the guys are shooting the SMK bullets and this is because they work well if they didn't you'd not hear anything about them.
