What are your thoughts/experiences regarding the Sierra Match King HPBT as compared to the Tipped SMK HPBT at, say, 300-600 yards? (30 caliber 168 grn 30-06 to be specific)
In the specs, I see an increase in BC from .462-.535 which results in supersonic velocity at 1k yrds, but that doesn't matter much to me. Is there any increase in shot group size or performance in general? They're only about 4¢ per round more so that's irrelevant.
Edit: My apologies. I should have added more information. My purpose here is NRA/CMP Service Rifle Competition, specifically, the 600 yard slow prone stage. Loading for an M1 Garand. Because i was interested in the difference in the tipped vs on tipped projectile, I didn't think this additional information was all that relevant whenI made my initial post.
