Anyone know the difference in these loads (aside from bullet weight and that 68/75gr aren't SMK's).
68 Gr. Heavy Match Hollow Point     M223R5
69 Gr. Sierra MatchKing     M223R12
and
75 Gr. Heavy Match Hollow Point     M223R6
77 Gr. Sierra MatchKing     M223R9

Does the "Heavy" refer to anything relevant (ex. thicker jacket) or is it just for marketing?

Looking into heavier bullets for HD and BH's website didn't have many details. Any help is appreciated.

Thx,
