[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 168790, member: 8843"] I haven't tried trimming the SMK's but I have done the Berger VLD'sand it helped the expansion ALOT it also made the bullet group a little better at long range , I'm guessing thats do to the meplat making the BC more uniform. I personaly woulden't worry to much about the tiny loss in BC , it would be hard to judge how much loss in BC you would have due to not knowing exactly what had changed. The SMK's have a bit thicker jacket than the Nosler , Hornady and Bergers that use the J4 jacket material so they will always lag behind a little in the expansion department. Have your tried the Bergers? the 190's have a very high BC and I think that even if you trimmed the meplat back further than needed that the BC would still beat the SMK's and the thinner jacket would also help with the expansion [/QUOTE]
