[QUOTE="IdahoRedneck, post: 728230, member: 24273"] Okay guys, not sure if this will help as I havent had a "fail" with a berger but as I am a curious fella I went down and carefully studied the the hollow point on the 210 hunting vlds in every bullet in a box of 20 I have loaded. Lot #4449. 1 of the bullets loaded out of those 20 rounds I can not get a little paper clip down further than about .053 thou. All the others I can push a paper clip down at least .117 thou. Perhaps this has something to do with these fails that to me seem few and far between. Now I realize a little paper clip and a caliper is far from sophisticated but none the less it was a measurable difference on that one bullet, no matter how crude. Someone earlier posted a link to a meplat uniformer...... Eric why does Berger recommend not to do this....it seems to me as though it would be no different than turning case necks. Just trying to make every round exactly the same....... Maybe my redneck paper clip measurement might have something do with some of these fails. I would think the eighth inch depth of the hollwpoint is good for expansion but the One that wasnt quite a sixteenth not so good. And kudos to Eric and Berger as ive seen him do time and time again on this forum. Thats customer service :) [/QUOTE]
