[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1085542"] I have no hard data to reference but the pictures indicate a completely different bullet shape. The SMK is a tangent ogive and the TMK appears to be secant. I think the TMK is longer than the SMK. This could indeed cause high % of case volume used by the bullet, causing compressed loads aka higher load densities. This could lead to pressure problems. Better to error on the side of caution, I would back your load down and work back up. If you would please, measure the length of the SMK and TMK. [/QUOTE]
