Joe, I agree with you - just didn't want to start an "SMK's no good" rant by calling them out. The most consistent bullets I've measured and weighed are Lapua Scenars and Bergers. Hornady AMAX's are pretty decent, especially for the price. The worst are amost always SMK's, although I di have one really decent lot of 7mm SMK 130's . I think that may be why they shoot better jumped for me????? And even then, they shot good enough to tease me into thinking I could fiddle with the load and make them outstanding (but I never could). They were good, but not great.
