Is it just me... or does that look like considerably better "fit" between the various components then the M855 bullet.
I have some of these that I need to reload, hopefully accuracy will be improved as a result of tighter fit.

Should have mentioned that these are supposed to be sloppy seconds from factory, both the M80A1 and the M855A1's. A separate company was selling them (M80A1) by the 100 pack as blemished, some with cannalures and some with out. From what I heard is that most where perfect to the eye. To hard to find the real thing out of military stock, even with the good contacts that I have.
Notice that the M80A1 steel core differs from the M855A1 for a tight fit on the cannalure. The M855A1 core is notched to accept case crimp.
All of these projectiles are built and held together with love, They are non bonded and you would think it would cause problems with rotational drift if spinning loose inside?
