[QUOTE="Accidic, post: 2608746, member: 89112"] Not sure it'd be for the same reason but the most accurate round for my 243 (Rem 788) is a basic flattened soft tip speer smoothed/flat to the jacket lip (the first hundred I picked up were like that though I've no idea why). Reloading several hundred more over the years with the same bullet which shows a small exposed lead point I found them flying everywhere initially (~1.5"+ @100y)... A quick run of a file and then pressing them flat/smooth on the counter and it was night and day difference (consistently well under an inch). I use partitions in my Swede now and have never had an issue with them (though I'd admit I did try them flattened a little out of curiousity but didn't notice any difference whatsoever). However, my daughter's bolt action Grendel absolutely adores the 120gr Speer Gold Dots more than any other bullet I've tried and they highly resemble the above 6mm example with the tips flattened (maybe a tiny bit of round) to the lip of the jacket on every one I've ever seen. On a related note, I do have a 22LR profiler and I have found that a slight flat indention on the tips of bulk plinking ammo tightens up the group by a noticeable and repeatable amount as well though in that case I honestly think it has more to do with uniforming the lead projectile's diameter.
