[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 912433, member: 2011"] I'm learning some stuff. Not an authority on this at all. Whatcha see is whatcha get. :D What I learned today is: + My ability to keep track of stuff sucks. Remembering important stuff costs me. + Bullet seating depth trumps bullet tip wobble. By a ton! I loaded 3 unmodified 350 SMKs as a check group. They did at the rigs accuracy level. I loaded 3 modified tipped RBTs (Roy's Brass Tips :D:D). These were the best out of round bullets. Under 2 thou runout. Hmmm, shot slightly over 1 MOA @ 300 yds. Loaded 3 more modified bullets. A little worse runout. Hmmmm, again shot slightly over 1 MOA. Ah Ha, then I remembered. The tipped bullets seat deeper than the unmodified ones. The seater touches the brass about 10 thou up from the tip base. Duh!!! Seated my last 3 modified bullets to the correct base to ogive length. Well, what da ya know?? What impressed me most was that these tips were gross to look at when looking with a critical eye. Run out for each bullet was 0.0065", 0.008", and 0.011" Hmmmmm!! Gonna fab some more and go to the next step. My media is frozen solid. Guess I'll bring it in the house, thaw it out and mix in some antifreeze. No way I'm waiting till spring to check drop and expansion. [/QUOTE]
