135 gr 308 SMK

[chas442]

I got my hands a 500 rd box of 135 gr. 308 SMK bullets. It appears that these are no longer made by Sierra. The only load data I can find came from a Sierra tech that said to use 150 gr load data.
Does any have any experience with these bullets. I can't shoot long as the bullet doesn't even sit in the case in my Savage Varminter if I want to put it near the lands. I do not go nuclear with my loads.
Would like some info if possible.

TIA

I have no experience with those bullets, But as for load data, Accurate 2520 has been showing up a lot lately, and there is load data for 135 gr bullets in 308 Win for it.

Good luck finding the powder, but there is also load data for 135 gr. Sierra boat tails in 308 for Shooter's World Precision.

Use any 135 grain data for jacketed and work up. Easy day.
