jam1e Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi folks, As some know i'm new to reloading and bug people with lots of questions in my quest for knowledge.... I'd like a few "constructive" comments about an issue i may, or may not have with my 32gn Sierra Blitzking bullets. I've just noticed something different about my Sierra Blitzking bullets in my reloads, compared to my Remington 32 grain Accutip-v and Hornady Superformance 24 grain NTX factory round bullet heads. There is no gap at all between the polymer tip and the copper jacket on either the Remington or Hornady bullet heads on my factory rounds. Yet there is a noticable gap on all the Sierra Blitzking rounds. Is this usual, or have i got a bad batch? If it's normal, is the gap the likely cause of the heads being the less accurate?? A picture below gives you an idea what i mean. Just to add that mine are not boat tail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 forget about it highly unlikely to make any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx10mike Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 the tip may makes it slightly more aerodynamic for a better bc but wont affect accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pestcontrol1 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have just looked at the ones that i have and they have a slight gap so i looked at my loaded one which are are the same and still put up a sub 1/4" group so i would"t let it bother you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 makes no matter, different manufacturer. I have seen an a-max get its full tip knocked off then place in a tight group with the others at longer range (cant remember how far but at least 300) there was something of a debate if it should be used as a sighter or just take the one sighter as the guy was one round short without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, what powder and charge are you using to get the "1/4 group"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
