[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2150401, member: 87243"] On a separate note, I checked tip alignment and out of the 100 .338 250 grain SBDII bullets I have, there was 6 that had a misalignment that could be seen, two of them were pretty bad, the photo below being the worst. But in this pressure work up I'm getting rid of them, hopefully before I purchase more of these after my load is developed they have it figured out and can get them squared up properly. Even if they don't seem to affect accuracy of the larger bullets, we are still paying a significant premium for these bullets over Hornady eld's, Bergers, Noslers etc., so it would be expected to see properly aligned tips, especially on the smaller bullets, because on a 250 grain bullet, the misaligned tip (if it weighs 5 grains as an example) is only 2% of the bullets weight, but the same tip on a 70 grain .224 bullet is a little over 7% of it's weight. This may or may not make a difference, but I think from a premium bullet manufacturers standpoint, it would be a good thing to get fixed to ensure they continue to grow their client base.
