[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1033897, member: 41122"] The stability issues of the 168 smk have been attributed to the angle of the boat tail and the effect it has as the bullet starts to approach the speed of sound. Simple solution, shoot them faster so this happens after the 1k mark. Many other 168's share this extra steep boat tail angle, and also the same problem/solution. If 1k is on the agenda i personally would look at bullet weights in the 175-200gn range, but it can be done with 165/168's. [/QUOTE]
