Cannelure Effect on Accuracy

[Changed]

All,

I have the opportunity to pick up several 500 round bulk pack 77 SMK with Cannelure for 50% off or $67 each.

I will be running these in a Tikka bolt gun. How much of an effect does the cannelure have on the over all accuracy?

I currently have a load thats printing sub half MOA groups (Several .3 as well) with the NON-Cannelure version of this bullet.

I would appreciate your advise.

One of my best loads has a cannelure. Rock on with them and at 13 cents per buy me a few packs!

Local reloading supply is going out of business.

I also bought two 8lb kegs of Varget for $110 each.

I hate you right now...

Seriously though, great score. Buy all you can. Those are 15 year ago prices.

I also picked up 2000 175 SMK's, considering some of the .264 140 SMK but they are moly coated.

I really want to get the 2000 77 SMK but I'm unsure about that cannelure.

I've never heard anything bad about cannelures. Kind of handy if you are shooting out of an AR

I've shot thousands of 77smk. my load with and without cannalure shoots exactly the same. tiny little groups. if your unsure but them and send them my way I'll take them off your hands.
