[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 605499, member: 5302"] Some years ago, a friend got some bullet making dies from Don Rorschach and talked with him and Clarence Detsch about making 30 caliber match bullets. He was able to make bullets that equalled what those "special" boxes of Sierra Match King bullets we used to get in plain brown boxes of 1000 each. Sub half-MOA at 600 yards with both. He used his RCBS A4 press to make 'em. Sierra no longer makes available those super accurate bullets that shot 30 to 40 percent better than what they sold in green boxes at retail. If one has the time and start-up costs available, they could probably make very accurate bullets. If one can easily shoot 2/3 MOA at 600 yards with what Sierra offers today shot in their rifles using their techniques, they may do better with home made bullets with good tools and dies plus a lot of extra time. Otherwise, spend time and money on better barrels, completed rifles coupled with better shooting and reloading techniques. [/QUOTE]
