SMK 180 grain .284"

#1 Post by ovenpaa »

Has anyone tried the new SMK 180's in 7mm? The claimed BC's are very good and Sierra are usually quite good cost wise so they could make a workable alternative to the Berger 180's

EDIT - Just found this link and they look very new.

I've not tried any yet - are they on sale in the UK? They don't even have a piccy of it on their website, though it is listed.

Hopefully, they will have looked at the Berger and done their homework!

Cheers

I have looked since I posted this and I cannot find them in the UK. Interesting that Sierra say a 1:8 twist as opposed to 1:9 for Berger 180's

I seem to get on OK with the 180 Targets what I am loosing in BC is returned for me with ease of build, I just jam by a couple of thou and shoot, in fact I am virtually on my initial load settings at the moment.

Spud,

So who has 180 Bergers in stock - or did you buy the lot!

Ovenpaa - I would imagine Sierra are just being cautious - maybe they think they might be shot in 7-08s or similar.
