180g SMK's in 7mm

[bigbore]

Anyone having success with 180g SMK's in 7mm. I have been using 175 SMK's and about to try 180g er's. Rifle is in 284, Krieger 1-9" twist. I jump the 175's.

Input would be appreciated.

I used them in my 7 WSM when the price of Berger's got extortionate in the UK thanks to the UK importers and they still are (I hope you're reading this Berger)
The Sierra's performed really well but they did need to be trimmed and pointed and even with that the Berger 180 vld shot flatter. From memory I jumped the SMK's 20 thou.
Accuracy wise there wasn't anything to choose between the Berger and the SMK, but as I have already said the Berger's shot flatter which meant they would also deflect the wind just a touch more and so begrudgingly I ripped out a kidney and sold it to buy more Berger's! The slight advantage the Berger had was meaningful to me as I shoot competitively. I still have 100 SMK's left I might just load them up in the Shehane and use them for practise.
