[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2426836, member: 106845"] I get what you’re saying. I was just elaborating on the subject since there are many that drill the opening wider and even into the core to increase the cavity size. There used to be a lot more of an issue with the openings not being even and left more jagged. For target shooting, that’s not such a big issue until you’re shooting to distances it does lol, but it does matter in regards to terminal ballistics and initiating reliable expansion. That’s when I got into meplat trimming. It lowered BC slightly, but it was worth it. Now that tipping is so common, I just switched to using a tipped bullet to save time at the bench.
