[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 114838, member: 10"] Meister, From the ones I have played with they were at least as consistant as the SMK and actually better in weight consistancy. Lot to lot variations will be similiar to SMKs. The dies are all set up by hand each time a new lot of bullets is made. This is why the consistancy in a speicific lot of bullets is generally better then the SMKs but it can vary from lot to lot but I would not say much more if any more then Sierra bullets. The cure, if you find a bullet of Richards that you like, order more then 100 at a time!! Simply put I would say they are at least as consistant as SMKs and bullet weight generally is better from what I have measured in his 338 bullets. Shot side by side, RIchards bullets averaged tighter groups at 500 yards then the SMK. Not dramatically different but for an average of five three shot groups out of my 338 Kahn with each bullet, the Wildcats averaged right at 1.3" ctc and the SMKs averaged 1.65". Both shoot very well but my Kahn at least prefers the Wildcat. TO bad Richard does not have his dies back!! This is just one rifle though and as we know all rifles have different personalities!!
