220 gr SMK's handle the transition from supersonic to subsonic quite well, the reason Crane chose them over the 210 VLD's on the market for their new 300 Win Mag sniper load. However they upped the operating pressure to 68K in order to get the long range performance they wanted, but the powder specified was H-1000.

All in all, the 300 is a good way to get into the long range game without too much pain.
