[QUOTE="Lightvarmint, post: 255821"] Jim, I have a lot of time invested in the testing of them (I am the official tester) and they are just the medicine the shooting sports need to get to the next level. I have spent a lot of time and my own ballistic resources helping RG get off the ground with his project. It is not very often one gets to be involved in the ground floor of something that is as significant as this will become........... I spoke with a friend in PA last night that sold me his 1.75" diameter action because of the poor bullet selection he has to choose from. He has experienced the full spectrum of behavior of the SMK (ie blowing up umon impact to not expanding at all). His last kill was at 1500 yards and he was so disappointed in the 300SMK performance that he has decided to sell his long range shooting sticks..... This guy is no slouch in the long range game as he has set a "few" records in the long range matches up there. I merely mentioned what I was going to do with the action and he jumped on it with both feet. He has seen what I have said before in that the 300 SMK is not consistent as they need to be upon impact. He has his cadre of guys up there ready for the HATS because they want something that will perform better than what they are currently using. He is actually somewhat Giddy about it. These bullets are not magic, but they are closer to magic than the 300 grain SMK. LV [/QUOTE]
