Pointing bullets

[Diabolus]

Tried my hand this evening at pointing some .308 175 SMKs in the Whidden system.

I pointed the bullet, then trimmed the meplat ever so slightly. Photo on the left is the trimmed, photo on the right is a factory.

I'm going to process a few this way, then try trimming first then pointing.

Anyone have experience with this?

Yes. Be careful, there is such a thing as too pointy. Test a few before doing thousands. It seems to hurt the Bergers more than it helps them. It will show no effect at short-range.
