    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    Yes, I've tried them in 175 grain for the 308.. They work better than the 175 SMK IMO... Here is what I've found...

    Weather permitting i will try the 77gr 224 bullets pushed out of a 223 the last weekend of the month alongside the regular HPBT MK's at a 1000 yard match. Wont be a completely fair test as i will shoot one on Saturday and the other on Sunday but should tell the tale. Will report back.

    I like them in my .308 Hog Hunter - 42.2 grains of IMR4064 in Remington brass gives me 2590fps and great accuracy.

    The 69 grainers work really well in my 12 twist 22-250 and gives me a half minute flatter trajectory at 500 meters. I did have to add a half grain of powder to get the same accuracy as the standard ones.

    Only shot on Saturday as i ended up with a fair sunburn Saturday and didn't want to enhance it Sunday. Sorry guys only shot standard matchkings and no tipped ones.

    I loaded up some 69 grain TMKs in half grain increments and shot 3 round groups at 200 yds. today. I found the best load for my 223 was the same as the 69 grain SMKs. I plan on shooting some TMK and SMK comparison loads once I have time. The TMKs are longer and seem to have a slightly different profile than the SMKs.
