[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 333343, member: 13833"] Trimming the meplat will increase expansion and lower B.C. to some degree depending on how far you go. Sometimes you can drill out the tip slightly leaving the same dia. meplat but THINNING the nose section of the jacket. This can create a change in airflow with the slightly hollow pointed tip which may or may not be a big deal, but it will help expansion at lower velocity. Everything is a trade off! Test it on the range and see.....Rich [/QUOTE]
