[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 63911, member: 11"] Abinok That was an interesting post. You have elloquently stated your position and I am all but sold on these for my next .308 bullet of choice. In fact I just gave this topic a 3 star rating because of the great information you and Fifty have brought to light at least for me. I'm hoping the stars will attract the attention of others that might have overlooked this topic. Thanks. [ QUOTE ] One last thought to sway you, the 168 gr has dynamic stability problems, and will not shoot through the transsonic barrier. The 168 goes transsonic around 900 yds, so kiss the chance at a 1000 yd shot good bye. The 175 stays supersonic to just over 1000, and stays accurate even after it goes through the sound brrier. [/ QUOTE ] Could you build on this point please. Is this instability a problem for all 168s or just the SMK? I am aware that there is a turbulence "step" when crossing the sonic barrier either way but what exactly is this instability and what causes it. I am not a mathematician or an engineer but the ballistics area of shooting is brobably the most facinating to me. I love the information that can get passed from shooter to shooter when we get past the "same ol' discussion" and get on to teaching and learning. [/QUOTE]
