[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1226053, member: 2736"] [b]Re: Berger bullets blocked hollow point hole[/b] Good Information, A little disappointing but I guess with todays market everything is produced to save time and cost. I spent some time at Sierra's bullet plant years ago and saw many quality control checks during the jacket making process and then during the core process to assure materials were the same hardness for consistency during manufacturing. There were many weight checks on the components also before they were assembled. with all of these quality control checks/steps there were still visual inspections buy trained people. Even with all of these inspections there were still slight differences but not of the kind you are describing now. On the Sierra match Kings using the Meplat trimmer was a good way to uniform the BC and enhance the performance for hunting consistency. I have not bought any Match Kings since all the shortages started, so I don't know if there quality has fallen off, But there does seem to be a trend to less quality in all components due to demands. Having been In quality control for many years, I do know that consistency requires quality control and without it there is very little quality and consistency. I guess we will have to check every single component from now own if we want consistence and accuracy and take nothing for granted. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
