[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 493852, member: 8"] The old M118 special ball bullet which was a173 gr FMJBT was stable through the transonic. The bullet was made by the Lake City Arsenal and is not to be confused with any SMK. You can probably find a few on Ebay. They were also loaded in 30-06 as the M72. Why they were stable is not clear to me but I believe the boat tail was very shallow. The dies that were used to make the bullet wore out and the QC became erratic and production was terminated.
