Finished pointing up the last of my 2,000 Berger 105 6mm Hybrids.
I am so glad Sierra does this at the factory for most of their Matchkings now.

I know! I actually did work out right after this. Not related. You know how you want to put just a little more force into it, but it doesn't feel right, but you're pretty sure that if you just give it a bit more "oomph", but you don't want to break anything, but.........
I know you've been there!
Yeah, it's usually with primers. I'm pretty surprised I haven't had any go off in my face yet.Quote:

Put Gold Bond on my Allox coated bullets, then shot em.
All done with pointing my last batch of 6mm Berger 105 Hybrids.
Now to move on two a few thousand 80 gn Sierras. Joy.
For a 5-10% jump in BC, I am willing to spend some time at the bench.

A while back I shot some unpointed 338 bullets and some pointed bullets back to back with the same powder charge. At a little over a mile, the pointed bullets impacted several feet higher than the non pointed bullets.
Deprimed and swaged 750 pieces of 5.56 brass and got 300 of ran thru the stainless pins and dried.
Been working through the 223 brass i separated by HS, then processing on the 1050. A few hundred more and i'll be done with the clean brass. Then on to the next project, sorting brass by caliber, tumbling then put away for a rainy day.
If you reload and don't have this tool get it, when $$ allows.
