[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 422796, member: 4191"] Some cool customization going on here. Dave, I'm going to do the same thing with Berger VLD bullets. Are you led to believe that uniforming the meplat improves the consistency of expansion? Check out my recent experience with the 210 VLD on a Dall Sheep. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f92/alaskan-dall-sheep-210-berger-vld-60791/[/url] I just ordered Kevin Cram's Meplat Uniforming Tool for .308 and .284. I have no guarantees this will help ensure consistent expansion, but I like the looks of the chamfered/deburred meplats with the V opening. It seems that should help promote expansion upon impact. Check out the photo of the trimmed meplat versus trimmed & chamfered/deburred meplat. [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/MCRMeplat.html]Review of Montour Meplat Trimmer[/url] Anyone else have any input or experience on the potential benefits of meplat trimming for improved bullet expansion? I know it will slightly reduce BC, but that's less important than improved reliability of bullet expansion. [/QUOTE]
