New Sierra 105gr SMK?

[wilkup]

Has anyone played around with these yet... more specifically in a Dasher/GT class case?
They look very long and super sleek!
As I get closer to making a decision on my 6mm build, I continue reading and learning as much as I can about the different bullet offerings and it seems this forum has the most information on hunting with 6mm I've been able to find on the interwebs at this time.
Do the non-tipped MKs upset on target the same way as their tipped counterparts?

The tipped ones are more consistent on game. But every bullet is an individual.

I just tested them against 109s. Same powder charge, same depth on the die.

They shot pretty equivalently to 109s. Very very well for this guy and a factory gun




Seekins NRL 6 creed. Shot to 700 (first time testing this rifle). 109s were a smidge low off calcuted. So were the 105s. The 105s called for another click on elevation. Windage is like 0.05 mils worse

Center dot was the calibration/waterline if you will, aimed left side of center dot and both grouped low right together (other impacts were me doing other things/trying to hit middle/positions/other dots etc and a 25 creed too)


16" square was boring.

1/3 ipsc wasnt an issue (9x13" I think).



Aimed left edge at the top dot and hit low right of it. Then went for the headshot (2.5" square) and nicked it.

Im going to use them at the NRL finale

I've been running the 105's in my Dasher for 8-9 months. They shoot great. My current barrel actually prefers the 105's over either the 107 or 110 SMK. I'm loading them in front of 31.2 grains of Varget, seated to where the bottom of the bullets bearing surface is at the neck shoulder junction. 10 shot groups average around a 1/2" or better, and they shoot great at distance too. I've been competing with this bullet all year in PRS matches and it's very consistent.
