[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 344802, member: 1521"] Sometimes I wonder if it comes down to a standard set of ratios, that bullet dies are commonly in compliance with. A couple AR15 platform cartridges come out, and suddenly we have more than one maker of 123gr bullets (another odd weight). Definitely not happening by chance.. Personally, I would prefer bullet makers pick a brand standard, and hold those ratios for every cal in their lineup. That way they might afford external ballistic testing of any one of them, and the rest would accurately correlate. But then something else would need to happen that isn't; bullets would need to be made to, and verified to match that standard before going in each box. And by standard, I do not mean -all the same within a lot. I mean all in my box matching a declared and rigid blueprint. This might be an optional lot that they could charge a little more for. I would pay a bit more also if I did not have to point, meplat trim, and BL sort their bullets. [/QUOTE]
