Bart B.,

You said it.

That 210 SMK has a higher BC than the 220 SMK. Just doesn't handle the transonic range as well. I think that might the reason that Sierra is keeping the old ogive and base geometry for the 220 and 240 SMKs.

Of course, once the "new" 210 came out, people started griping hard about seating depth because the "new" 210 wasn't as jump tolerant...

Everything is a tradeoff.
