As I have noted previously, I have not ever had anything get up after being hit by a 240 and tell me it didn't do the job in a terminal fashion.

You say you are using 190 grain SMK - I'd suggest this is part of the problem.

Recommend you get a pack of 220 SMK and 240 SMK and try the same load development.

There should be a difference.

Hmmm

Time to try a few different things. Both with and without the can on.

Also try some supersonic loads if you can - and get some 220 and 240...

21 grains of 4198.

Av Velocity = 1099fps
SD = 4.5

The higher the powder weight the better the consistency and lower SD.

My comments the same as above. Sickness is stopping me from taking my 500 grain loads out for field testing. When I do we will be comparing notes I'm sure.

I am very impressed by the SOCOM!

Function test (ie does the bullet make it out the barrel) went well with 18, 19 and 20 grains of H110.

Accuracy was good with all three but chrony the load next challenge!

I've read that it has been done, like the 25 BR which would be better for the heavier bullets, but they don't seem to offer more performance than their 6mm parents.

Good testing. The inter-web is an amazing place but you cannot believe a quarter of what you read as a lot of it is just cut and paste "instant opinions".

I am a big fan of testing these claims...

Bolt gun.

Subs assumed but a accuracy preferred.

Hornady 500 grain RN as basis.

You tell me the load that works and I'll try it!

Speed of sound at 14 deg Celsius is 1114 fps. Beg, borrow or steal a chrony and see what velocity you are getting. I found good accuracy at 1100 fps but aim for 1050fps as a rule of thumb.

Nice barrel for what I want to do with this rifle.
