[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1094414, member: 39764"] Building loads for a couple custom rifles and got to looking closely at the meplats on the VLD Hunting bergers. They are quite inconsistent under mild magnification. I was kind of dismayed at the inconsistent meplats. It makes it difficult to gage COAL when building load ladders in relationship to jump. Owning a machine shop, my cure was to build a jig for one of the lathes and coillet chuck the Bergers and lightly square the meplats, no a big deal but I would have thought the bergers to be more consistent... They vary in consistency from box to box as well, with some meplats being square and some looking like a one sided hip roof house or a melting ice cream cone.... not good. Overall consistency box to box.... I guess not. Seroiusly considering switching to a hybrid, polymer tipped pill just for consistency. [/QUOTE]
