I'm getting into swaging and have to choose between the two. It's for 7.62 mm bullets. Thoughts on the matter of boat tail or rebated boat tail bullets?

Offhand - Corbin. I'm buying a press from someone at TFL. I figure on making .223 and .30 caliber boolits.

Yes, the Lapua D46 bullet is a very good bullet design for LR shooting. Fortunately, I was able to buy several thousand of the no longer made 170gr bullets. The 185gr D46 is still available AFAIK.

I've always took not of those Lapua "rebated heel" bullets. They look unlike anyone elses bullets. Do they fly flatter than others, or whats their clain to fame?
