[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 483364, member: 22495"] I shoot 168gr. SMKs. I looked at the 180gr SMK because everyone seems to praise heavy bullets. I have worked up a load in just a few trips to the range, getting .64" groups at 100yds. Sometimes the groups are in the .3" range. I ran the 168s as well as the 180s through JBM and found that the only advantage the 180s have only come into play at distances greater than 800yds. That advantage was minimal IMO, and concerned the windage variable. The 168s showed much flatter trajectories, and due to increased velocity, there wasn't enough of a difference in energy to even mention. For me, the increased recoil just doesn't look like it is worth it. [/QUOTE]
