Description
Your competitions secret is out!! Montour Rifles Meplat Uniforming Tool allows the re-loader to equalize the ballistic coefficient (B.C.) of any kind weight bullet.
This is done by removing the un-eveness of a bullets meplat. (the nose of bullet) By uniforming the meplat correctly you are reducing the B.C. of that type of bullet by approximately 2%, which is equivalent to approximately 1/2 minute of angle sight adjustment.
However you are creating a more consistent projectile, bullet to bullet and shot to shot, thus creating smaller groups. Any inconsistencies in your ammunition are magnified at extended ranges, therefore this process will eliminate one more variable in extreme accuracy reloading.
Montour Rifles Meplat Uniforming Tool is comprised of a 303 Stainless Steel body, precision machined from one piece, to exceptionally tight tolerances for absolute squareness and repeatability.
The bullet is supported by a .0005″ over caliber bore and a referenced stop at the ogive. Absolutely NO DAMAGE is done to your bullet when used properly.
The Montour Rifles Meplat Uniforming Tool was designed back in 2000 and is the most consistent, repeatable uniforming tool on the market to date by top shooters around the world.
Montour Rifles Meplat Uniforming Tool is the only tool utilizing our proprietary center de-burring. Just meplat trimming alone leaves burrs inside the hollow point area. These burrs can now be removed and an even 60 degree countersink left in its place. This will remove any and all inconsistencies in your bullets meplat and if tipping your bullet will allow for a tighter close. The Montour County Rifles Meplat Uniforming Tool is currently being used by some of the top shooters around the world in 1,000 yard bench-rest, high power, F-class, ELR and many other facets of shooting.
If you are serious about minimizing you groups, and having more consistent shot to shot accuracy, especially at extended ranges, you simply cannot afford to skip this step. Don’t be fooled of knock offs! There is only ONE meplat uniforming tool on the market that can do what this tool does.
Montour Meplat Uniforming Tool Instructions
It is recommended that you check the base to ogive measurement using a comparator tool and sort differences in .001” increment lots. Keep these lots segregated throughout the entire meplat uniforming process and afterwards. This will ensure a more accurate over all length, meplat diameter and finished product.
1.) Place the correct caliber bullet in bottom end of body and gently push in until it stops. Do not use excessive force for this can damage the bullet. Slide the meplat cutter ( flat cutter ) into the 3/8” hole in opposite end of body until it rests on bullet tip. Slide one knurled stop collar onto shank of cutter. Using a piece of paper or feeler gauge between the body and knurled stop collar, set the desired amount of material to be removed. Generally .005” – .010” Tighten the set screw up on the flat portion of the shank. Remove cutter and apply a light coat of oil ( Imperial sizing die wax works great ) to the top end of body where the knurled stop will come in contact to prevent gulling. Gently re-insert the cutter until it rests on the bullet tip. With one finger apply gentle pressure to the base of the bullet while rotating the cutter clockwise to remove material from bullets meplat. When you feel the cutter stop cutting remove the cutter from meplat body. Remove the bullet to see if you removed enough material to clean up. If not, adjust knurled stop collar so more material is removed and repeat step 1. If enough material was removed to your satisfaction, clean out the body with either compressed air or a Q-tip. Replace bullet and move to step 2.
2.) Gently insert the center de-burring tool into 3/8” hole in body ( without knurled stop attached ) until you feel it rest on the bullet tip. With one finger gently apply pressure to the base of the bullet while rotating the center de-burring tool clockwise with little to no downward pressure. When first setting up center de-burring tool take a light cut with only a few rotations. Again, the knurled stop is not attached at this point. Your only trying to remove the burr inside the hollow point area and leave a slight 60 degree chamfer inside. Remove the bullet and inspect that you have removed enough material to your satisfaction. Clean out the body with either compressed air or a Q-tip and replace the bullet. If you are satisfied with the amount of material removed, gently slide the center de-burring tool back into the body until it rests on the bullet tip. Slide the knurled stop over the center de-burring tool shank and tighten the set screw up on the flat portion of the shank. Remove the center de-burring tool and apply a light coat of oil ( Imperial sizing die works great ) to the top end of the body where knurled stop will come in contact to prevent gulling. Replace the center de-burring tool and rotate it clockwise a few turns. Remove the center de-burring tool as well as the bullet. If enough material is removed to your satisfaction, meplat uniforming is complete. If not re-adjust knurled stop collar so more or less material is removed and repeat.
Once your knurled stop collars are set there is no need to remove the bullet between steps 1 and 2. You will need to clean out the inside of the body removing the small copper chops with either compressed air or a Q-tip before inserting a new bullet.
