    When looking at the strength levles of lifters
    As reported in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, bench press strength was about 16% higher for the free-weight bench press as compared to the Smith machine bench press.

    so if the military press strength differences are similar to the bench then you should be able to lift about 16% more on the smith machine
