[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1526850"] I have had ..outside custom lathe turned bullets...variations in every single brand of bullet you can mention from lot to lot...and treat every new lot of bullets accordingly...sure the basic recipe developed with the old lot may be the yardstick I am measuring against...but otherwise..start over to a degree...bullet failures are a fact of life..have quite few pristine bullets in a glass jar somewhere....sort the bullet/brass and even know a shooter who competes for money that weighs his primers and inspects them under a magnifying glass...he makes money....so I am not going to say he is wrong... I mean we have to understand that we are expecting a whole lot out of a mass produced product (for the most part) that is trying to do several things at the same time.. It seems like some people (pardon the generality).... want bullets that have a fabulous BC and consistent weight shape and accurate ..shoot as flat as a lazer...but oh..can you make them expand from muzzle to 1600 yds without blowing up or damaging too much meat and still penetrate the shoulder of an elk at 500 yards ...and I need to get 3200 fps.....oh can you market them for $50 a hundred...maybe less...please :)...seriously? If you don't want to sort and expect X performance on every shot and a large envelop in which to work....then lay out the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ because it is going to cost and it most likely means some variation of a lathe turned projectile or a by hand operation where you are going to pay thru the nose for that perfect lot....
