Really??? I heard the 6mm 107gr SMK were the bees knees in 1k for the 6mil brs along with berger vlds and a few others. Hmm might have to get the calipers out and have a squizz at them then, what about weight aj any noticable difference?

It does not surprise me at all, I had some 142gn MK's, that were absolute SHOCKERS I only measured them base to ogive and the 30 thou mark was around the spread of them. Except one which was as I remember 70 thou longer than the shortest

After reading how the yanks rave on about them, I brought 300 'thinking myself a very smart fellow' and I would have the 'magic load' sorted in no time. yeeeeaaaaarhh right

I had a whinge to the shoppy I brought them off and asked if they were 'seconds' his reply was "nope, just a bulk pack that we divide up and sell off by the hundred"........

Oh shit thats exactly what i got my 100 of them from...a bulk pack sure bloody hell looks like ive got some sorting to do!

If you sort and batch them they will work fine.

Sort them by bearing surface, meplat trim them and then batch them into weights as well, this will sort them out fairly well.

A hundred may give you a few small batches but will be ok for testing.

I usually sort several hundred at a time.

Dave,

Don't sweat it mate, I am sure they will be fine remember everyone else is in the same boat too

JR

All I can say is jazes your mate needs to get a hobby
For myself it's always a toss up between AMax and Scenars. They have both performed well for me

Shane and JR,

Can I ask you guys for your opinion on meplat trimming for short range work. I know the pills I currently use are crooked as... but still group really well, just wondering if you blokes have tried it

Kenny,
I dont shoot a lot of short range at the moment but when i finally do get into it more seriously i will most likely meplate for the more serious events.

Some would say you dont need it for short range but when every thou counts it carnt hurt.

As for long range, i found my scores became more consistant. There was no huge gain in accuracy but there was a gain and shoot to shoot i was more consistant.

Perhaps it was all in my mind???

But something worked!!
cheers,
Shane

[Kenny]

Thanks fella's,

I was thinking that it had to be better than nothing, and it could not hurt to do it.

Any gain is still a gain

So I am off to the grinding wheel

cheers
