Pointing 180g Scenars

[kyreloader]

Using a Whidden pointing die, which insert are you using to point these bullets? I have a bunch to try and am interested to hear which works best.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using 7mm or 308 bullets? I've been pointing 7mm 180 Scenar L bullets, but I have the Bench Source die.

I have a Whidden die and the "0" insert is correct for 7mm 180 Scenar L. The "1" insert, used for VLD and Hybrids, is too sharp and contacts the Scenar L nose over a relatively wide area. It does not close the meplat as easily and runs a risk of buckling the ogive below the contact point.

Thanks Steve, I will give the "0" insert a try!
