[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 155209, member: 2011"] From my experience with light weight 277 bullets at high velocity the advantage is less recoil allowing more consistent accuracy in field conditions. 90 and 110 grain bullets @ 3600FPS were super varmint loads but little chutes opened at about 420 for the 90s and just a little farther for the 110s. Shots beyond 425 were next to if not impossible. Shots around 420 yds were ~80% hits. I'd figure the 115 SMK would do better than either the 90 or 110 grain offerings. Especially out of a WSM loaded up a bit. I'd see if a decent load using a ball powder could be developed. Should extend barrel life a bit. Let us know what pans out..... [/QUOTE]
