[QUOTE="jimmyjames88, post: 1114803, member: 92004"] Wow this is an old thread (2010) yet the Chapter 2 of this article just appeared in my mail box(?) My reloading and shooting mentor who has been LR shooting and reloading for 40+ years occasionally shoots 168grn .308 projectiles at 1000yds. I was in the pits scoring his target. Round holes, no tumble but also no supersonic crack. Also, Sinclair states in the latest (2014?) catalog I have from them that trimming the meplat INCREASES BC by 2%, not decreases. Who's right? I don't know. I've only been doing this (reloading for LR) for 2 years. There is more I don't know than there is I do know. I look at everything about this hobby from an engineering perspective as that is my back ground and history for the last 36 years. Trimming the meplat makes engineering since to me. My mentor says that fad already came and went some years ago and I've yet to do it and see if it makes any difference. Maybe someone else can weigh in here on that subject. Would like to know before I spend $50 to find out. [/QUOTE]
