with the bullet market going a little nutz right now with super high BC bullets i am considering trying some of the new offerings. I have a 308 win, 24" rem varmint profile 1-10" match barrel Mausingfield action put together by LongRifles Inc sitting in a KRG Xray chassis, so my gear is top notch. my skills are not, they are developing. I hope to make this year my year to really learn the ways of the bolt gun.
so far I have shot some hornady 178hpbt i had laying around and they shot ok. the 178 amax shot really well and the 175 SMK also shoots really well, as if I should be surprised that a 175 SMK over 45g of Varget shoots good.
I have 100 SMK's remaining, so i will need to order bullets soon. i will also be moving over to lapua brass so I will need to do load development anyway.
please comment and vote on what bullet you would choose if you were in my shoes, I am looking at the Nosler RDF, Hornady ELD-M and reliable ole 175 SMK. Hornady wins with BC battle, but BC is not everything
