The 150SMK and the 153 ATIP's have shot great for me. I've only shot the 153's out to 430 yards. I've shot the 150SMK out to a 1k as well as the 147's.
I'm running them at an honest 2700fps out of a 23" barrel. 41.5gr. of H4350.
The 150SMK does have a slight edge over the 147 Hornady in the BC contest but the numbers are so close it would be hard for even an above average shooter to see the difference in my opinion.
I've had no failures with any of those bullets I mentioned above. Even have shot the 135ATIPs and I've run all of these bullets out of my 6.5CM with a 1-6.75 twist barrel. The 135's are coming out at 2800fps and the bullet rpm on those is at 298,666!
So I'm not exactly being nice to all of these bullets rpm wise!
