[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2702650, member: 9299"] During my years of 1,000yd BR and LR/ELR shooting, differing meplats (different BC's) would show more vertical stringing and the occasional flyer, usually an impact lower in the nominal group. This experience and understanding was widespread among precision and competition shooters and especially with some of the older bullets and the QA of the times. Even today, some of my higher quality brand of VLD target bullets have slightly varying meplats, as the pics posted above reveal. For most, these minor variances will have no impact on their ranges, groups and the larger game they hunt, but when very consistent, tiny groups are required and/or desired, it can reduce those unexpected flyers/misses. If it did not improve the consistency of our groups, we would have never used the process all these decades. [/QUOTE]
