[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 170371, member: 1007"] I feel exactly the same way. My only issue is starting out with a MV of 2567, it doest take long for a bullet with 20+% of it's BC loss to go transonic and tumble. That really limits my weapons range. If I had more starting velocity, than it would be of less concern to me having such a BC loss, other than I might as well use a hunting bullet as opposed to a SMK that takes alot of time to uniform and drill out. I loose time and gain expansion. I can shoot an ACCUBOND with a better BC than the modified SMK and I dont loose any time and still have expansion. The reason it sucks is because with an unmodified SMK 190 in my rifle, it is long range shooters dream, it just doesnt open up. Modifying it will make it open up but then I loose the qualities that make it the "perfect" long range load. I am glad you didnt loose any of your BC. Unfortunatly, I am not as blessed. My solution for my next hunt (sitka blacktails next week) is simple. I am taking my 300 RUM instead of my 308. [/QUOTE]
