Wondering if anybody has tried the 150 SMK's in 7mm-08 out past 500 yards and what kinda of results good or poor that they found.

Not sure if they are going to have the carry for me, I tried bergers but the rifle just didn't care for them.
 
Not exactly what you were asking for but I thought it was worth posting that I've loaded 150 SMK's in my 7-08 with good initial results. Not @ 500 yrds but @ 350 yrds I had two loads that I shot 2 sub half MOA groups with for each loading.

The batches were using 42 and 42.3 grains of Varget.
 
I don't own a 7mm-08, but the SMKs worked wonderfully in my 7mm WSM. Sub MOA groups out to 600m. If they were better for hunting, I would have stuck with those for all of my shooting. Easily twice as accurate as any of the premium hunting bullets out of my rifle.
 
They are the best shooting load I've got for my T3. On average 1/2MOA.

Winchester cases, CCI Br2's, and Hodgdon data with H4350.
