OAL issues?!!!

[Nostradumbass]

This may be elementry but I have had a few questions on my beloved Sierra Match kings. The tips of the bullets are inconsistant and sometimes give me hell when seating bullets for a consistant OAL. I know sinclair makes a tip trimming tool to uniform them, but I just hate to spend the money. Anybody out there know any tricks to resolve this issue? Thanks for your time!

Simple trick-don't worry about it.

Your seater die seats the bullets on the ogive, not the tip. Check the length of your ammo with a bullet comparator to see if you really have an issue with OAL. SMK's vary in length AND weight

You don't have an OAL "issue", you have a trivia issue.

You're very welcome Phillip. Use your time off to read the rules and figure out how to use the search function or the "back" button.
