[QUOTE="a.JR, post: 37513, member: 1391"] Dr john,I have made 4 different designs of meplat trim tool as a progression to try for the perfect bullet tip..Long story short the latest version is nearly the same as the unit Dave T sells for $40,follow the prompts by Crowmag..My bullets are fairly blunt,don't have BC figures but they lose only 1/2 a minute in elevation @ 1000yds from trimmed to untrimmed..One thing not mentioned here is after you trim the point(meplat)it is easier to inspect..I use a 10 power loupe to pick up badly formed jackets,when the bullet is pointed up sometimes it folds enevenly on the inside,hard to see with the std bullet but stands out after cutting..These faulty bullets in my tests leave the group everytime....JR..Jeff Rogers [/QUOTE]
