[QUOTE="abinok, post: 70862, member: 16"] For the 190SMK, id try 67.5gr of IMR-4350. its about the lowest recoil full velocity loading youre going to get. 2920fps is what my chrony says from a 26" barrel, so yours will be faster. My personal preferance is towards the heavier bullets, speciffically the 220s. This bullet gets launched with 73gr of H1000 at 2692fps. Neither of these loads are near max. I don't have a lot of experence with the 200SMK, so ill leave that one for somebody who does. Now as to the issue of being able to spot your hits, im not sure either of these loads will get you there. Ive spotted hits with both of these loads from a 13.7lb rifle, but never closer than 1100yds. Im convinced that about the only way to spot hits with a rifle producing this much recoil is to use a bench style stock with a flat buttstock. if youre already setup that way, the 220 is the way to go. IMHO I think if I were in your position, id have a look at the recoil that a top load for the 175SMK develops compared to the heavier bullets. They will give up a good bit as far as wind deflection is concerned when compared to the 190s and 220s, but are MUCH better than the 168s you were shooting. [/QUOTE]
