[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2434938, member: 30902"] Well that's the price we have to pay for lathe turned bullets made to precise standards. It's just a much more expensive way to manufacture bullets than regular cup and core bullets which are essentially produced in a stamping mill then poured full of hot lead or have a lead core inserted in the jacket and then the jacket is squeezed into shape around it. The twists required to run heavy for caliber bullets though isn't a problem with cup and core bullets unless you're shooting something with paper thin, very fragile jackets. [/QUOTE]
