    Yeah...I never really figured out that OBT stuff. I just use it as a starting point to my upper limits.

    Thats really all I'm wanting is to get close so I don't have to start from the beginning. I already have load dev for 175gr smk but a buddy of mine got rid of his 308 and gave me over 500 same lot speer bthp match pills so I figured I may as well use them.. heck they were free

    just a note. the 168 smk is a 300 meter bullet with a known bad issue at long range. you need to look at the boat tail on these bullets and decide if you are going to shoot past 400.
    i shoot 175 and 185 for 308 out to 800.

    For some reason I thought Sierra changed the BT on those a few years ago.

    I know I've heard bad things about the 168 smk but that was my mistake the 168s my friend gave me are speer match. He swore by them and they were free so I figured ,"why not" lol
