[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 576971, member: 13632"] I often wonder how many failures of bullets are caused by the reloader, how many threads do we see where some one is trying to get the run out down only to find that they have been seating bullets by the tip, this would really screw with a Berger type bullets function on game. Or shooting a bullet at the ragged edge of the upper velocity limit where it's just looking to come apart. If I ever had a consistent failure of a certain bullet others were rocking out to I would certainly look for the cause, I just about screwed myself with the ammo box I use to carry my loaded rounds, it's lined in the lid and I found one day that the foam will pack in the tip as it rides in my pack. A lot of issues with a bullet may be traced to something alone the line that WE do, which is self inflicted bullet failure. I've started checking the meplats on my bullet that are not tipped to make sure nothings crimped over or stuck in them and if I see something a little of I use them for sighters not game. [/QUOTE]
