I've only been reloading for a few years and I've used Berger for 99% of my bullets. I recently built a .284 win on a long action and have been having great success with the Berger 180 Hybrids. The problem is that I built the .284 because I wanted to eventually try F-class and my 7 mag was to much recoil for extended periods of shooting. Anyways, shooting 75-100 rounds 2 or 3 times a month gets expensive in a hurry shooting the Bergers. I'm wondering if the 7mm 175 SMK would be in the same ballpark quality wise as the Bergers. I used to think that MK's were top of the line, but in doing alot of reading and seeing what most top shooters seem to be using, I'm not sure anymore.

I've tried the 180SMK (VLD clone) and didn't care for it to much. I've got a box of the 175's on the way, just looking for overall opinions on Sierra as of now. Thanks!
