[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 798208, member: 5302"] So is every other rifle on this planet. The groups are all zero MOA at the muzzle. I don't quite understand how removing metal from a meplat making its shape less pointed/aerodymamic will improve a bullet's BC. Please explain. The second sentence carries the most weight of these two, in my opinion. Few folks are aware of the spread in BC caused by bullet imbalance. And the faster bullets spin leaving the muzzle, the more they will jump off the bore axis upon exit. From what I've been able to glean from the bullet makers is, bullet imbalance has a larger effect on accuracy than meplat shape or size variables. One, maybe two, folks I know of have measured bullet balance at high rpm rates and set aside only the perfectly balanced ones then tested them for accuracy compared to the rest that ain't so perfectly balanced. Results have been amazing. [/QUOTE]
