What did you do in the reloading room today?

Does anyone trim the metplat and not repoint just to get consistent tips ? Or is this a dumb idea?

It is a good idea to trim them all the same length and then point them. But that takes too much damn time. Pointing is as far as I am willing to go.

Best time spent at the bench for long range ammo is measuring bearing area. If you arent shooting a lot past 600 a lot, just concentrate on learning how to read the wind.

A lot of people do, I personally don't because I'm lazy, and while I want to start pointing, I don't want to spend the money on the dies and trimmers. It's actually pretty low ROI.

But if you're right up against the COAL on your magazines, sometimes a little meplat trim will do wonders for consistent feeding.

same here, didn't know if it was worth doing one without the other

So you would recommend pointing over trimming if I'm going to do one of them then?

If you are going to go through the pain of one, just point them.
