True statement. That is why we use them!
"I also think it would be nearly imposible to point up a bullet without a core?"
Bullet making machines do it all the time. I cannot count the number of uncored jackets that I have gotten in boxes of bullets over the years.
A lot of the same guys are now sorry they started to make their own,because the equipment is so expensive. They also tell me they don,t weigh evert charge either,when I tell them I weigh them all they lauth at me. These guys tell me ,and some of them are in the benchrest hall of fame,It is more important to get your shots down range ,before the conditions change. I also agree after shooting 10 years at 1000 yd. benchrest club in Pa..

100/200 yards and 1078 yards are two totally different animals with different requirements. We don't measure our short range charges because they are such short ranges that the scorer makes more error in the scoring process than you will notice from a tenth grain powder error.
I did conduct some experiments with faulted loads versus loads that were as good as I could make them and it was significant difference.
With faulted rounds, I could not get them to touch at 800 yards and with the well constructed ones touching at 800 yards was a metric I use for determining if the pilot has made an error or if it is a good hold when the fire control system is activated.
If any of you guys would like to come down here and get warm and also demonstrate your techniques and ideas where I am wasting my time with my procedures and processes, we can shoot on my private 978 yard range out of my shooting house and really see the differences under the same conditions.
Who knows, I might even win enough to cover this years hunting fees. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
