I measured such for intel in EOD with regards to recovered ordnance, UXO etc yet never considered such a value on my lapua or lost river projos for target or hunting. I use a corbin swage to make .224 bullets from old .22 rimfire cases etc so will have to get that meplat trimmer ! My recent experience with meplat was initiated by my use of Garrett Hammerheads in my 45-70 Ruger Number 1 (the new version) a stainless beauty with the green laminated stock.
Looking in my catalogs and low and behold meplat trimmers and gauges !
Thanks !
I forgot to mention it, but regular as clockwork, my Brownells catalog arrived on August 1. The single best source for gun pron on the planet.
As a kid, I found out that the Sears toy catalog became sorta stale after Christmas, but my dad's Brownells catalog provided great reading all year long.
