We will have our next FPR this Saturday and the 6.5G and I will be on the line again shooting at 600. Currently shooting 120 SMK's, but moving up to the 123 SMK's.
I have not been as happy with the 123 SMK's as the Lapuas and the Hornady's. I just can't get them to shoot as well. That said, my buddy says they are more accurate than any load he has tried out of his Grendel, so who knows!
