[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 258955, member: 7194"] I cant give you any meaningful info on any of the bullets you ask about, even though I shoot a lot of the 90SMKs and Bergers because I am running them out of a lowly 223. But I do know the 80 grain SMKs will run very accurately and reliably up to about 3350 out of a 22-6.5x47 Lapua with an 8 twist Schillen. ( that figure is probably based only on what matches my drops, I cant recall if I ever actually chronoed the load. If traditional pressure signs mean anything it is a pretty mild load.) The 22x47 basically mirrors the 220 swift in powder capacity and pressure rating, but has a small primer pocket and uses lapua brass. I guess I should have gone with a 7.5 twist because the 90 bergers do not quite stabilize. [/QUOTE]
