If a rifle doesn't shoot one or both of those well (assuming 7-8 twist) then it likely will have bigger problems with anything else.

I still shoot a lot of 75 Hornady's because they are MUCH cheaper & accurate enough for most jobs, but never as accurate in the absolute sense as the SMK's.

Jury is still out on TMK's, IMO..............for me, comparable on smaller shot number groups, not quite as good as the number of shots / group increases in my trials & what I've also read in testing from other, in particular, MOLON over at AR15.com & on SH as he is basically an oracle.

But still more than good enough for most practical uses.............with improved BC over the SMK.

Two other bullets that do very well for me are the 52gr NCC and the 50-55 gr Nosler Varmageddon, flat base hollow points, for those who like bullets on the other size of the weight spectrum. Of course the 52 and 53 gr SMK's are still the gold standard in that weight range.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
