[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 630788, member: 23486"] As stated above, it sure does make them look good:D I'm doing some "preliminary" testing with my 338RUM & 300SMK. Keep in mind, you are not removing the meplat, just uniforming them. If you're ever notice the jagged, snaggle-toothed look of most hollow point bullets, there is room for improvement! How far past cosmetic it benefits, I am unsure to this point. There is also a good possibility of better terminal performance on game having the mepalt somewhat enlarged... should initiate more expansion...lightbulb Of course, there is the reported reduction in BC, which stinks (report is ~2%). Like I said, I have a handful done & paired with my most concentric cases, bullets etc. I plan to shoot a couple of 500 or 600yd groups (Farther maybe?) & compare those groups to a couple of groups with my "normal" loads:D That would make a good write-up/report wouldn't it?
