Wow, you think that is rough, start casting your own. You will then gain an serious appreciation for how close the tolerances actually are in a Hornady or any mass produced bullet are. I enjoy casting bullets, but it really does take hard work and discipline to get it right. Out of the Sierra, Winchester, Remington, Speer and Hornady bullets that I have bought and tried for the different calibers that I shoot and have loaded for, I think that the Hornady's are the best bang for the buck, with the Remington Core Lokt's coming in a distant second.
