    Black Hills 168 SMK - 600 yard F class


    Long story short:

    I'm trying to conserve my stash of 175 SMK and Varget for my son the rest of the season. I want to shoot a 600 yard F class this weekend with him. I've got just enough Black Hills 168 SMK box ammo to shoot a match (+sighters). They have been very accurate in my rifle out 400-500 yards. I've just always shot the 175's for longer range.

    Wanted to hear feedback on people that might have used them in for 600 yard matches?

    They will work for 600y but not much farther. The 168 SMK is unstable around 700y and many ranges won't let you compete at 1000y with them.

    Yes I know about 1,000. We shoot 175 SMK at 1,000. Just wanted to know or hear some possible experience w/ them at 600.

    I would not hesitate to use these again for a 600 yard match. They were more accurate than me. The vertical was very good for box ammo at that distance. The highlight of my day was, the 1st shot. I chrono'd them to see exactly how fast they were the weekend before and got a good 100 yard zero. Plugged all the environmental info in to my app and came up what it said. My first sighter was a 10.

    That made my day. :)
