[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2702454, member: 1521"] I've used a Montour Country Rifles version. The problem with meplat trimming ONLY is that it only causes same nose length, with a cost of meplat diameter variance to do that. This, producing just opposite of claimed 'consistent BC'.. Keep in mind that meplat diameter is way bigger to BC than nose length. It's best to trim only to prep (as needed) for or after pointing. Hoover system looks the best to me. Their different pieces allow adjustment for least pointing transition. I've used a Whidden pointer and it is a failure in my view, because it's datum is bullet OAL, instead of ogive length(like Hoover sys). [/QUOTE]
