[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 3102661, member: 116439"] They look GREAT! I always like Berger Hybrids and OTMs for Target and also like the Sierra Match Kings. I know that these shoot great for TARGET. Now a few years ago we purchased several Thousand .224 Sierra Match King in 80 gr weight. At the time I was told that Sierra started "Pointing" some of their SMK and should look to see what LOTs we have. Well, I didn't think much about it at the time. We did check into "Pointing" and "Trimming" the Meplat of the bullets and really didn't understand the entire process or the Theory behind modifying an already "MATCH" manufactured Bullets. Then to top it off we would have to sort the bullets by "Wight and Ogive". After that when shooting the published BC by the manufacture would be different and would have a different outcome in a Ballistic Program such as "Applied Ballistics" loaded in a Kestrel. You would then have to change the "Custom Drag Curve". Now I am not a person that is a Ballistic Tactician to find out the BC of a bullet that has been changed from "Pointing" and or "Trimming". We kind of got an IDEA on the "Pointing" Process. We actually purchased a "Whidden Pointing Die" from a LRH member and also have the Inserts and Sleeves to "Point" all the different Brands & Calibers of Bullets that we shoot. SO we have the tools to "Point" now should we also invest into "Trimming". We have a Super Trickler to weigh the bullets and Mitutoyo gauges to measure the Ogive. Now there are some LRH members that are in High End Target Competition, and they do "Point" their bullets and win National Championships. They have reached out to us to help us understand the process and "Point" Bullets. I think that this is a Rabbit Hole where we will get lost and have NO RETURN. We can use any [I][B]"Constructive Advice"[/B][/I][B] [/B]from shooters that have or are actively "Pointing" and or "Trimming" Bullets for "F" Class or ELR. Thanks Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
