[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 737732, member: 5302"] That's been happening for decades. And it does help indeed. Service members on military teams would sometimes spin issued match ammo, mark the runout high point on the case head, then put the round back in the 20-round cardboard box. Then load those for single round matches; mark at the top of the chamber. Officials running the match sometimes would catch that and declare the ammo as illegal 'cause the rules state the ammo has to be unmodified as issued; that black mark was considered a modification. So folk would just spin the ammo then put it back in the box with the rounded indexed with the high runout point towards the front of the box. Accuracy at the longer ranges got better by 1/2 MOA or more. [/QUOTE]
