[QUOTE="overbore, post: 191582, member: 2981"] [b]B.C[/b] uniformity is the reason behind trimming. IF you have equal BC's you may minimize vertical stringing at long ranges. Consider a Coyote shot at 700 yards--- you have a 8" lethal zone and the unequal BC's may contribute to missing it. This is why the polymer tipped high bc bullets are so popular. There are three ways to handle: 1. measure and sort equal length bullets. 2. purchase trimmer from such sources as Dave Tooley. or 3l, The Rolls Royce method, trim and close the nose after trimming with a $$$ set of dies. Overbore ps: I do #2 for all long range rounds [/QUOTE]
