[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1111825, member: 16938"] The SMK is easier load to magazine length due to it's Tangent ogive. You can get closer to the lands at mag length with SMKs. The Bergers have a long nose that requires you to seat them deep into the case to get them to magazine length. This results in more jump to the lands, and it decreases case capacity. If you require the use of the factory mag, go with SMK. If you single feed, or decide to have a Wyatt's box installed, go with the Bergers. A combo that works well for me in my 338 RUM XCR 2 is the 250 Accubond, .090 off, 94.5 grains H1000, with a Fed 215 in RP brass. This nets 2925 fps with some sub .5 MOA groups. Most are around .6 or .7 off the bipod. [/QUOTE]
