Haha that's awesome! By the way how fast are you throwing those 300gr SMKs down range?

Hmm that's interesting. I have a .338-378 I'm going to start reloading for and 300gr SMKs are on the list of things to try. I think, if done properly, mine will through them a tad faster than yours. What's the twist rate on your barrel?

Great shooting !
Skyler, remember, best accuracy won't always come with top speed. I'll always give up 100 fps for a 1/2" smaller group.

I have a 30" barrel on mine, some people are getting more speed than I am. Accuracy and consistencew is the goal.
