    With the new A-Tips being all the rage it looks like the new line of SMK’s have lost their shine.
    I played around with the search function and couldn’t find much recent feedback on the 230smk.
    Does anyone have any firsthand input they could give on this bullet? I’m just getting into the .300prc and am looking for a few bullets to try.
    Are they jump sensitive?
    Does advertised b.c. hold up?
    How is consistency?
    Etc.
     
    Start by seating .010" into the lands and work up a ladder test with an in the lands seating depth. Shoot on paper at 1k to confirm drop numbers and adjust, if necessary, from there.
