[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1126791, member: 22069"] My testing is currently suspended while I have some bedding work done on the rifle. I'm not expecting it back from the smith any time soon. I haven't yet progressed from range testing to field trials, so I don't have actual long range data or terminal performance information yet, either. The 350 SMK was designed to withstand CheyTac level velocities, so it is necessarily a pretty tough bullet and very unlikely to expand reliably at the launch speeds generated by an H&H. From the beginning, my intended use for the SMK was as a less expensive projectile for long range practice vs the $2 ea. MTH. There are some guys on this site who have experimented with annealing the SMK's and with fitting them for aluminum or brass tips to improve bc and expansion characteristics. I am interested in those efforts, but lack the skills and tooling to play along. There have been quite a few shooters on LRH who have posted their results using MTH's in various weights and diameters, though I have seen none using the 300 grain .375 MTH. Still, such results may give some idea of what to expect in terms of accuracy, ballistic performance, and terminal performance from these bullets. I am eager to continue my experiments, but the cost of components requires me to be efficient in my testing. If I don't make sure that everything is in order before sending bullets down range, I am doing nothing but blowing money from the muzzle of my rifle. When I have my duckies in a row, I will resume work on this project. For the time being, I have been devoting my time and money to other projects... [/QUOTE]
