    No , secret to making top accuracy bullets is best jackets, consistent cores all being made through one set of dies & being able to "feel" ANYTHING that is different.
    Often when making bullets the hand will feel something different that the eye, micrometer & scales can't pick up but those ones go in the reject pile which I use.
    Sometimes you do see find something wrong but it takes quite a bit to find it, but the "feel" on the press tells me there is something wrong.
    Besides I have to have something to do when its cold & wet!

    @TARGEX are the 175gr 308 bullets target or hunting hobbies? Something to consider for whatever 300 mag I decide on and good to support someone local

    Hi, sorry missed this one. They are along the same lines as Berger bullets with target accuracy but do the job hunting as well.
    Tend to penetrate & then do a lot of internal damage. Turn everything inside to sludge basically giving fast kills.
    That is provided as usual that the bullet is put in the right place the same as with any other projectile.
    Cheers

    Saving that for an april fools joke. I'll say they come in both 143, 147gn and have a bc slightly better than eldx...

    Second thoughts it might not be a good idea to prank a dude who has an endless supply of bullets

    Oops. Should have read through the thread first. I see that they do work well. Might have to get some when I run out of my Hornadys.

    Hopefully we will give the 95T's a run the following weekend. Looking for a fatty. AS I have said seperately they are an attractive pill. Did 100 and no galling when seating. What more can you ask for. Running them with RL17.
