    Working up some 223 loads today. Going to do some more 223 sub's using TG, BECAUSE another member want's to try them out. Might sort the brass we shot while on vacation.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Loaded 100 rounds of 9mm on the 650. Didn't do any speed records, probably took a half hour, but that counts setting up powder charge and seat depth/crimp. Only lost two tips to poor bullet feeding on my part. Not having to manually add cases is awesome.

    Built a reloading bench in the new house. After nearly 8 months with all my reloading stuff in boxes, I can finally start to roll my own again.
