[QUOTE=".300 RUM Guy, post: 1294549, member: 69755"] Thanks TR. You're the first person I've ever heard speak about the SMK's in that manner, and to be honest, I fear you're right! The SMK's (based on that one experience)are too stiff in the jacket, and I've never been a fan on using Target/Match bullets for hunting! When I clicked on the video you put up, I thought to myself "that's a Kiwi accent", moreover, that's Nathan Fosters voice! I rang Nathan and spoke to him about the pitfalls of annealing the bullets, and whether or not that altered the BC? And he warded me off the process, on the grounds that it's a big hassle and you've got to shorten the me-plait (in conjunction with annealing) saying the bullet won't work properly with just annealing alone! He claimed the bullet I required was the Hornady 225 ELD-(M). Hell, another $100 or so needing spent (which it's just not gonna be!) I will try annealing them 'ONLY', and if I have no success, I'll look back at the 'lesser accurate shooting' ELD-X's (of which I have plenty of) or, the Nosler 210 grain Accubond Long Range bullet, of which, I also, have plenty of. There's not a heck of a lot of room for further load development for, I have a Gradient Lens Hawkeye Borescope, and if what I'm witnessing down the chamber end of the barrel equates to a sore throat in a human, then this thing's got and extremely bad case of the flu already, 'at BEST'!
