[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 542698, member: 24624"] The meplats on most factory HPBT bullets out of the box are not uniform. You can detect this most of the time with the naked eye. This includes Bergers. Yes. It affects accuracy. But, not a whole lot. This is one reason for the spin that's imparted to the bullet by your rifling twist. Most Bergers are good for 1/4 MOA or better out of the box. Some people trim and uniform theirs which can lower the BC, but may lead to better consistency. If you don't really know what you're doing, you can ruin the bullets. This is especially true of hunting bullets. There are lots of things to do to improve accuracy before you start trimming meplats. -- richard [/QUOTE]
