[QUOTE="Quicksilver338, post: 2665920, member: 108268"] I trim .005-.007” off the tip, most of the uneven tips get straightened out with this. Then I chamfer the inside to make it nice and uniform and run a wire drill down the hole to make sure it’s clear of any copper or lead. I have not noticed any loss in accuracy doing this, but they say it could reduce BC slightly. Generally only noticeable if you’re shooting way out there and not for hunting. They say around a 2% loss, but in turn could make your BC more consistent potentially by making the nose of the bullets consistent with each other. I come about it as strictly for hunting and an aid in letting that jacket come off and create a violent wound channel. Rifle shot a 4.3” five shot group at 976yds with the trimmed bullets so no hesitation to run them there. Using a Wilson tool meplat trimming setup. All done by hand. [/QUOTE]
