[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1226059, member: 64108"] I think the figures I read were something like a 2% gain in BC over a distorted meplat so I think it's more like 1% over a "good" bullet. Normal sorting would weed these out and identify the ones with plugged tips. In my case they were full of HBN from tumbling. I simply find the size jewelers bit that fits the average open hollow point and spin the bit by hand to clean out the tip. I don't think I would notice a 1 or 2% gain in any of my hunting rifles, perhaps a heavy bench gun. If it passes sorting and the tip is open it's good enough for me. Those trimmers are sexy though ! Lots of good info in this thread. [/QUOTE]
