[QUOTE="Quicksilver338, post: 3012041, member: 108268"] I’ve used the MCR to trim 300 berger otm and 245 eol bullets. At close range I had one 245 seem like it had rapid explansion but still killed just as quick as any of the others. But at extended ranges it has show to leave massive exit wounds when avoiding shoulders and strictly going through vitals. We are talking 2-4” exits at 500-600yds. I have since gone away from that and just use a pin drill to clear the tips. I wouldn’t say one kills any faster than the other, but I was always impressed with the wound channels of the trimmed meplat bullets. I went minimal and only took .005-.007” off. [/QUOTE]
