Re: Meplat trimming is it worth it?

If you trim then repoint you will gain roughly 5% bc over the unaltered bullet. You definitely don't lose any bc if done correctly. With that said, the difference is probably not worth the time. However, when using the Giraud to trim the Meplats, you can trim and point roughly 200 bullets an hour.
