I hunt.....and plink........ I only suggested the tumbling after they were loaded because.... it seemd logical if the bullets and cases needed attention. I have no idea how this would affect runout though.

My goal is to achieve the best accuracy possible without losing sight of velocity... and a good hunting bullet. I hunt mostly whitetail deer...... if that makes a difference. My most recent loads for my 308 were 42.5 grains of IMR 4350 (as best as I can recall...... I will have to go dig the exact info up)... on a 165 gran BT ballistic tip bullet. It shot real well.... and of the deer I shot with it..... I shot most if not all very high in the neck..... which didn't hurt any meat. I am not convinced however, that the ballistic tip bullets hold together as well as a good ole flat base Hornady with a soft point.
