Bullet pointing

[Yogibear]

Looking to point
.308 155gr SMK
.308 155gr lapua scenar

6mm 107gr SMK
6mm 105gr Lapua Scenar

I only have a Redding competition seater die for the 6mm. Standard seating die for the .308

What do I need and how much will it all cost.

Would it be 4 different pointing punches?

That would be two different sleeves to suit the 30cal and 6mm and you would need a seater die with a sliding inner such as the Redding micrometer or the Forster Ultra micrometer seaters. Price wise the standard systems are here:

You would need to drop as an email for the price of the second sleeve as I do not have it to hand however the Viking is sure to have the details in the workshop :)

[Yogibear]

Thanks, wasn't sure if there were some common components or whether it would be effectively 4 different sets @ £104

[ovenpaa]

Nope, you just need to swap the sleeves out, I could make a wild guess at the price however I have been told not to as I am invariably incredibly wrong at such stuff, I just design and machine the things :)

Yogi,

David's pointer certainly works on my 155's. Thoroughly recommend.

Hi Yogibear, if you're tweaking 155grain SMK's and Scenars, your obviously shooting target rifle, but have you found that bullet pointing makes a noticeable difference to your group sizes? Bullet pointing and neck turning are activities I have considered for target shooting, but I'm still not convinced about there effectiveness.

Bang for buck. BULLET Pointing is best thing you can do.
With the Shooting Shed pointer you will improve BC by 6%

Overall group sizes reduce because you uniform the tip and BC

I can't really give a comparison but I used the Shooting Shed bullet pointer on my 185 bergers for round 1 of the GB F Class League this weekend and overall kept the elevation very well in some interesting wind. My first ever League shoot so I was happy.
