[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 3092106, member: 48043"] Bullet noses really don't make a difference short range unless it's a drastic difference. Some of the crap the factories peddle for factory ammo shoots well but it looks like a toddler got ahold of it banging the daylights out of it. I wouldn't try benchrest with bullets like that, but minute of critter is possible at shorter ranges. As far as crowns, I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter as long as the bullet leaves clean. There are bigger fish to fry. Even things like how quickly a barrel gets filthy from a certain powder and how much residue a given primer leaves in the bore matter more to me than the crown. If the bore is filthy and accuracy is diminished because of that the jigs up anyway. [/QUOTE]
