[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 288797, member: 15748"] Trooper, As an aside, it's not just about the velocity that can be attained. Generally, the 190 SMK runs best at right around 2,450 fps from a .308, sort of a sweet spot, if you will. It can be run faster than that from the 308, but generally, there's a noticable loss in accuracy that accompanies the higher velocity. This is very well known among the LR HP target crowd (or at least it was, a few years back when this bullet was commonly used in that game) but there may be some differing opinions in the hunting community/forums. Used to use this bullet a lot when I (and most everyone else) still shot .30s, the 6.5s hadn't been discovered, and dinosaurs ruled the Earth! Kevin Thomas [/QUOTE]
