[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2573936, member: 15527"] A lot of guys use a Meplat trimmer to trim all "bullets" to the same exact length, which in turn, also give a more consistent nose profile from bullets to bullet... Even though these Match type bullets will vary in length, some by as much as several thousandths, the bearing surface will still remain the same, as most rifle bullet seating dies, contact the ogive of the bullet for seating, and not the tip. So, even though the loaded overall length may change a couple thousandths of an inch, it should have no effect whatsoever on the accuracy of your rounds.... [/QUOTE]
