I would like to know what is the best, most consistent results tool to use for trimming after pointing please?

Personally I prefer indexing from the bullet base for consistent OAL. I know this flies in the face of the index-off-the-ogive crowd but I feel it allows for faster, more consistent bullet point. For the Berger bullets I am using I am seeing OAL out of the box of around +/- .003-.004". If I trim them all to the same OAL and then point them all to the same diameter meplat it seems that that would be consistent overall. Within the same lot of both Sierras and Bergers I have not found base-to-ogive measurements that differed enough to make much difference (+/- .002" from my measurements).
But then I am only one opinion.
