What range(s) are you shooting?

Nice choice on the optic.

What is that bullet in the last pic? The 95 V-max doesn't have a cannelure according to Hornady's website? (and you shouldn't use cannelured bullets for long range).

The Bergers are definitely nice...albeit pricey...

My LR 7-08 drives tacks with the 162 AMax, and the 150 SMK, but I run with the 162 for the better BC at long range.

I would most definitely include the 142 SMK in your load tests.
