Simple enough to check the theory. simply make a jig to hold the bullet in a mill, and mill the desired amount off the nose. I did this before modding any of the NOE Molds here in my shop. this allowed for through testing before any mod's to the mold's were done. That is how I settled on a 80 gr. Spitzer for the .250 with it's 1-14 twist barrel. I sent a bunch to Doug to use at the EBR as they are very accurate bullets, however, Doug had problems with the Reg. on the .257 and switched to the 30 cal for the event. A shame, as the .257 is more accurate than the .30 Doug is shooting.As far as Tethering goes, We Americans are far to proud,and down right stubborn to pay attention to how is being done in other parts of the world. As I explained to Doug, Bench Rest is all about the very best accuracy obtainable from both the shooter, equipment, and gun. Not whether it translates to any perceived Hunting arena.Not allowing tethering, whichis just about necessary in a big bore match, is foolish in my opinion. and in the opinion of match rules all over Europe. For some reason, the EBR seems *(&^ bent on making it difficult for Big Bore Shooters. Not that it surprises me in the least! In fact, it is exactly what I would expect them to do, either out of disdain for Big Bores, or willful ignorance. Either- or, if not both. . Knife
Tethering for a prairie dog shoot would probably work out. Especially if there's an air stripper and you are not spooking them too much.
