[QUOTE="timeless61, post: 730812, member: 13530"] the other thread on the Berger Failures got me to look at some of my bullets, I looked at 50 I have loaded, this is what I found: using a small sewing needle, sticking it into the hollow tip of the bullet, 19 had the needle go in about 1/4" 5 it barely went in, just the tip of the needle went in, obstructed right away 26 had it go in around 1/16" or a little more even though the meplat looked good on all bullets, some had material right below the meplat itself not a cavity is this normal? seems like only 19 of the 50 I looked at are what they should be? will these bullets still "open"? I also did the same for some SMK's and the SMK's all went in around 1/4" unless the meplat was damaged and sealed shut at the very end. thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
