For the benefit of the uninformed, trimming/ uniforming the lengths of the meplets of practice grade match bullets leaves about a 3% decrease in the BC of the bullet from the equal lengths, but blunt, noses. This is why a point up die is useful; however, ahem, for custom match grade highest qualty bullets such as produced by custom makers , ahem, ahem, the trimming and pointng up is not required. I did check some Useful Idiot custom 30 cal bullets, ahem, ahem, and they are "bang " on. Great product that I dare not plug--. :D Many thanks, Overbore

I got a set of 6mm dies from David Detsch and they make good bullets.
Stephen where do you get your lead wire from? I have a way of shipping wire from LA to NZ and from what I can tell it will work out at less than 50% of the cost of buying lead wire here in NZ......Kiwi

Lester has lead wire. Use to get it from Bergers.
