Curious if anyone is shooting the 240gr SMK? I have my next build down to a few calibers and this specific projectile has my interest! There are a few things I would like to know: what case is best suited to get this bullet to 2800+fps? What is the expected barrel life based on true experience? How easy are they to work up loads on? What was achieved velocity, COAL, powder used, brass used, and so on?
I would like to start buying components in the next couple months. I would be willing to go up to 30" on a barrel. I want to mag feed. I want the ability to not only shoot the 240SMK but also the 220SMK and 208A-Max. I would love to be able to get this in a 300 win mag I am just not sure it will have enough power to push that heavy of a bullet. Also not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze jumping up to a RUM. Any experience and advice would be appreciated. Thanks
