Flat Nose ammo

[gkgeiger]

I just watched a very interesting video on the Neal Waltz .22 rimfire die, which I own. The guy did some, what I would call scientific testing. Using SK Std. Plus as a base, and modifying it with the Waltz die. The end results were that the flat nose bullet was more accurate then any of the other examples. The question I have has anyone compared SK Flat Nose to any of the other SK products? Here is the video, it is 23 min long, so be prepared.

Compared them to all the SK/Lapua line.
Cartridge quality had more effect on my results than the nose.
Many of those flats weren't square to the bullet centerline.

Justin,
I can see where that would be a problem. My die has 2 adapters, one has the Eley style dimple, the other is for hollow point. I just left a message with Mr. Waltz hoping to get the flat nose adapter. Based on my previous use of the die on bulk ammo, I think I could make more precise bullets then you describe. Thanks for the reply,
