[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1388719, member: 17112"] I've shot the 6.5-150 and the 7-183 and I've been impressed with both. I was able to hit steel 3/5 shots at 1705 on a 24x24 steel plate with the 183 in less than ideal conditions. I haven't played with the 150 as much. I had a chance to shoot with a buddy of mine one day and was anxious to try them. I just found the lands, backed off .020, and tried 59.0gr H1000 in my SAUM. Only loaded 5 just to get a ball park and guessed 2950 for velo. Hit the 66% IPSC steel all 5 shots. I'll probably try the 150 on deer when I can. I think they'll do ok but expansion might be inconsistent do to the very small meplat. I'd say they'll get full penetration on most shots with varying expansion. I've shot a fair amount of game with the original SMK (22-69gr & 30-190gr) with great success but these new meplats are marketedly smaller. [/QUOTE]
