[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1804258, member: 5302"] Yes. Bullets are least deformed when entering the chamber throat as straight as possible. That said, even crooked ones indexed the same in the chamber can be very accurate. 7.62 NATO M118 match ammo was notorious for its 7 to 8 thousandths bullet runout. Best accuracy in bolt action test barrels was around 12 inches at 600 yards; near 16 inches in match grade service rifles. Indexing bullet runout high point repeatable down to about 12 inches in M1 and M14 match grade versions. Too bad they used 3 or 4 different lots of bullets in each lot of M118 ammo. [/QUOTE]
