[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 776553, member: 5302"] Every bullet making company I know of makes new pointing dies to shape the front half of their bullets when the old one wears out. Sometimes the use the same mill as before. Other times they use a new mill to shape the die cavity; it' won't have the exact same shape nor dimensions. Such is life. But that much difference is a bit much. Sierra Bullets may have the best machine shop crew and tools these days making their bullet making dies. Years ago, Lapua bullets had match bullets from 3 or 4 different pointing machines in a box of them; proved by use of 20X optical comparitors checking their ogive shapes. [/QUOTE]
